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.

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

I have modified mine. Tried slightly different petals. I intend to make a full piece with this. Here is the preview :)

I will have pictures of the completed project soon.

Quilled piece on mottled Canvas

So i thought a plain piece of  canvas in white would not make an effective back ground. So i went googling the "mottled effect" painting method. I tried that out and got a very nice background - atleast i think so :)  The background is actually with green, yellow and gold tones. So i then added some quilled flowers. I followed Pritesh Dagurs tutorial
http://youtu.be/qiLk9wmIMSY  which was based off http://azlina-lin.blogspot.com/2012/01/multicoloured-flowers.html for one of the main pieces. I like the effect :)
I have finally figured out that quilled swirls are best with card stock paper - they are easier to shape. 

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

Here is the final piece - i gave this as a gift to a friend.
