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 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:  a do it yourself tutorial :  https://www.danyabanya.com/diy-light-table/ - checked supplies - went shopping of course :D 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 talki...
