3D quilled snowman

This snwoman was quite fun to quill. A lot easier than the dalek, that is for sure! He wouldn’t stand, so I quilled a base for him, which works perfectly. I love his little hat, and his scarf.i braided it by gluing three strips together, close but not right on top one another, and held it by a binder clip. I glued it in the perfect orientation to easily braid and fold it.

3D quilled Dalek

I really like Dr. Who, and I thought that a dalek would be quill-able. It was, but it was a bit difficult! I used a bit of wire for its eyestalk since I didn’t think paper would hold up. I put a bit of paper on it and stuck it between some coils. It took me a while to get it to glue.

3D quilled gnome

I made this gnome for my grandma sinc eshe loves gnomes quite a bit! The hair and beard was made similar to how I have in the past, cutting into thirds. But I thought to fold the strips in half this time, and I used a quilling needle and my fingers to curl it.

Two more quilled pictures

These are two other pictures I finished earlier this year and last year. The purple one was completely my design. It has sections with two and three layers of coils. It’s a random design, 12” by 12”.

The other one is 8.5” by 11”, quilled over a picture. This one was really difficult, because of all the curves. 

Two new quilled picture scenes

I haven’t posted in this blog in absolutely forever. There was a bug on one of my widgets that would automatically forward me to another site, so I couldn’t even use it on my iPad, which is the main device I use. But my husband figured it out for me!

These are two of the pictures I’ve quilled since I’ve updated my blog... I don’t do many small projects, mostly these big ones. I absolutely love these colorful scenes, and plan to do more. The night one is my latest one, which is 11” by 14”, and the other is about 8.5” by 11”.

Each section has a different coil shape, which further distinguishes the areas of the picture, which I quite like.

I quilled these over images I found and printed like I did for my other pictures. I found it is best to look up abstract or abstract painting to find a picture that is good for quilling. Anything that is hd has too much details to be conducive for quilling.
