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 15&16 - Quilling adventure - You win some you lose some

Sorry I did not post yesterday but .. let's just say it was not a good day for quilling, but today was better so I will start to tell you about today's win. Both days started with a adult coloring book ( yes I am guilty, lock me up I have one of does). To be honest with you guys I'm not that fond of it, I don't find it relaxing at all, I think it's the devils making, but It has nice designs / patterns than I think can be made with quilling. So today I choose flower stuffy-thing: Before you ask, yes I killed my color book by ripping the page ( will not make the same mistake like yesterday- tell you more later). This for me is a complicated project and I know I don't want to rush so it will take me more then one night. Started working with my old paper: 0.5 width and 30 cm long ( you know the drill), after some hard work I finish a flower, .... but no rest for me and did some leaves and started another flower... It's starting to look ...
