Quilling adventure - Updates & snowman

Hello! It's been a while :), don't worry I did not forget about you guys but had a little holiday and no quilling tools with me so the progress at my work in progress project is quite slow.

Small update picture:





 The progress is not that big and not quite my pattern but it's looking good, long way to go, but in the mean while I decided to do a small Christmas theme project, a SNOWMAN. I know it's not Christmas this month but you can never start to early and I really needed a small project to give me a boost in confidence and to see something finished.

Started with copping white paper and finding out that the paper is not a perfect rectangular ( my mind was blown away). I'm using 180g/m2 paper from a old sketchbook that I did not used.

So after the initial shock.. chop chop and ended up with some 14 cm/8.5 cm paper and little papers. Why exactly 14/8.5 :D It's a secret and I will reveal it later, but not later in this post, later this year . Here picture with chop paper:


 I looked and looked at other snowma'ns ( I know they are not hard to do but quilling snowman's are so nice), I decided to try one sort off 3D-ish.

Snowman body:
I forgot to take pictures. First picture I took was of the finished body, so I have a nice little 1 black strip + 2 white strips for a button ( the down button), made it 3D , another 3D button white white next to it, and a white strip that coils against the 2.

Snowman head:

Started whit nose and eyes (3D of course).

Added like on the body a white coiled strip. Not a handsome snowman but it works, have faith in the process.

 No snowman can be a snowman without his had:


Glue everything together and put a scarf scroll.


Snowman IS ALIVE.

He has a nice personality.


Side note: started to make numbers for my advent calendar, "1" looks abstract, so that I've been told :)

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...
