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 :)

Day1 - Drawing Challenge

Of course I am busy and of course I will start other stuff that maybe I should not, so I decided to start a old challenge that I did last year. Some of the drawings I will compare them with the old ones to se if I god better on drawing or worst. So... the challenge is here:  http://sketchbooknation.com/sketchbook-challenge/   (this is not mine - Free publicity :) ) It is fun because if you don't know hot to do the challenge you have a video that shows you step by step, or just images. Alexandra stop blabing!. .. Day one challenge was a bee: On the left you have the original and the first try last year and on the right the new and improve version  * the first challenge was draw on a smaller draw-book then this ears challenge I will not criticize me, that's your job!

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
