Blue quilled flowers

Blue flowers don't seen natural to me. Yet i find them in boquets in stores and wonder how? But they look beautiful! I love the color blue, though norm dictates it should be pink. But along with my 9 yr old son. I am facinated by the turquiose, pacific blue, green blue.......shades. So here is my take on blue flowers. With a sprinkle of grey and yellow. The pictures truly do not do justice to the REAL colors.
Hope you like it.

Red and Yellow Quilled flowers

This piece started as a simple flower which progressed into something that i have not seen before. The only thing i knew was that it was to be red and yellow.
The verse i needed showcased was one of my favorites
My Grace is Sufficient for Thee - 2 Cor 12 v 19
Here is how i worked this peice.

Before adding the stamens made with fluff

The drawing board

And the final Piece - 11x14

Quilled Gerberas

So my latest piece is based off Quilling by Ada's Gerbera tutorial. These beautiful flowers look stunning. And Ada has been kind enough to share the tutorial with us taking away all the guess work in making these.
This piece was made for my cousin. The colors are used were paplin paper Purple Shades.
I have linked to the shop i buy most of my strips from.
So the flowers i made started with this

These were the individual flowers

Then putting them together required leaves. I needed a couple of shades of green to make the purples pop on the blue matting.

 The final piece

Any questions - let me know. Please visit Quilling by Ada for more inspiration. She has amazing work! Final piece was framed in a 11* 14 shadow box

Quilled Wall piece with Psalm 118:24

This one was for a friend's Mom. For her 80th birthday. Pink flowers were the main theme. I added some yellow, and different shades of pink. Thoroughly enjoyed making this one. This is an 8x8 piece. I did the pink Malaysian flowers and added yellow and magenta flowers as well. The leaves were two tone which were different from what i usually do.

Framed in a shadow box
Here is the picture without the frame.

Another wall piece.

This piece was done for a cousin. The quilling was done using antique strips.

My final piece for the year with Bible verse and quilled flowers.

So i wrap this yr with my last piece. I started this a while back but finalized it and put it together last night. One of my favorite verses. I used the same flowers i used in the house warming gift, but tried different leaves. I loved the effect of scrolled leaves. Here it is.

Royal Flower modified

So i have a new wall plaque i am doing. The theme needs to tie into the gold, orange, brown shades. I have the verse all picked out to emboss on the frame. Started with the flowers. This is the modified version of the Royal flower which i saw on Amna's tutorials
