Day 4 - Some basic information's and a new try project


Hello again,

Probably I should have started with the basics. I talked in my first post about the tools that I got, but not about basic quilling shapes and scrolls.

I am still learning so I may not tell you everything or correct thinks, all my information is of the internet ( all bow down to Google and YouTube) :)


Quilling shapes

 There a lots of YouTube videos about quilling shapes ( not mine, I don't do that, maybe on request but please don't ask me to do it). I like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wULr0mYYr8c done by AV Visuals.

Will add a picture of some shapes here so it is handy ( they are made by me so they will not be as perfect as in the video):




Side note: I love the fact that you can do weird shapes as well, you are only contain by your imagination.


Quilling scrolls

 YouTube video i like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uc4zcMNZFao

My scrolls:



Side note: I find it hard to make the scrolls because I don't feel that my 2 coils look the same.


____________________________________________

Enough  blabla, new try project. This was inspired by a Pinterest post:


How was it made:

  • chop-chop a big white thick paper
  • add the border
  • make the tree: It's a lose scroll with lots of  paper (2 colors) + some teardrop leafs + some other scroll leafs
  • bird - head: has more then 1 color paper bind together and after made a lose coil, same for body, the little feet are tight coils and the beak is a hearth coil
  • add some pressing butterflies and a bunny

Side note: I made the bird to big I know. Lots of things wrong with this project but for my 4 day doing this I think it's quite fine.


Notes to self and others:
  • first project should be simple 
  • do not start simple and keep adding elements at the beginning
  • get glue from under nails easily or just don't grow nails ( it's not that bad but I can still feel it there even if I clean myself)
  • HAVE FUN and feel good about the fact that you try.  Rome was not build in a day and I think that after some time I will miss the days I had glue everywhere :)))

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
