Day 3 - New day, new quilling adventure

So today I said to myself that I need stuffy stuff like :

1.  a cutter ( yes I know it's weird that I didn't had one)
2.  a  light box. 

 Looked at the prices of a light box, had a small hearth attach, and decided to make one from scratch so I needed:


Fast forward made my own light box:

Good to do :
  •  Get cute decoration lights with batteries to use them in the house when you are not using the light box  ( win-win )
  • I use the container for storing some of my quilling stuff when not used as the light box. I keep repeating my self today.



3. a pattern-notebook-template-thing - this is a math small notebook in which I doodle what I want to be my next project. I was inspired today so I have my next 5 projects doodled ( can't wait to do them!)


I bored you enough so let's start talking about today's try of a project :

Steps:
 - pick a project from notebook - checked (see on the left)

- start picking colors - I made some side notes on this project with what colors I wanted to used, I ended up using mostly other color so I will not do that anymore.
- after making 80% of the little pieces I use like:  teardrops, coils,.. time to kill my design with pins and the newly made pieses
- waited especially for the vase to dry  and then used my new made light box to put the pieces on the base paper

WARNING: Be very careful with pisses like my vase :( one teardrop uncoil and it was a mess

I try fixing and ended up with this:


I know it's not perfect but I like it and that's important. It goes on my panel with stuffy stuff made by me.

Hope tomorrow will be a better day with no unwanted uncoiling.


* My relationship with glue is still complicated I should by him chocolates.

Day 12 - Quilling adventure - Why can't I work after templates

Hello! How are you guys? Hope you like what I do here, if not please tell me. Today I wanted to have a relaxing day so I found in a color book a lovely design: Beautiful right? So I started by doing a 3D circle (YEY!!!) Continued with another circle, I want to do a creative buble.  I ended up with these. The look as the template right? Not perfect but acceptable. ...... ..... ..... A couple of ours later: So everything went away from me again. I got distracted and the project was to complicated so hearts make everything better. Tomorrow is weekend and my goal will be to keep a design. Wish me luck! p.s No glue monster today :)

Day 11 - Quilling adventure - Elephant

So today I wanted to do another key ring thing but I did a... Elephant Started with a flower and then I decided to do a elephant so started doing the ears  - learn how to use the comb to make this lovely shape. The rest came to me naturally.  For putting the glue I used a old brush. I was better. I know the elephant doesn't look the best but I put a lot of effort into it. Maybe I will redo it when I become abetter at quilling
