Peace, Harmony and Love

Dear All,

A super quick post about a project that I finally managed to make after all kinds of hurdles posing themselves in my way! :( A peace symbol, a white dove :)


The wings are made of endless fringing (and my inspiration for fringing remains Meg Crawford, who fringes SO beautifully and patiently!).........

The body of the dove is made of clay and covered with tear drop punches, made using Martha Stewart teardrop punch. Rest is pretty self-explanatory :) If I didn't hate fringing so much, maybe, I'd make some more birds! Haha!

Happy Quilling

A quick nameplate

Hello All,

I have been so inactive that I almost feel like a potato at this moment! :( In-laws are away and my neck is paining so bad that I feel like my head would roll off from over my shoulders any minute now! :( Work is so far behind the schedule that I am doubtful I will ever catch up! :(

I got a call from a friend who wished a quick nameplate to be made. I didn't have the heart to say no and the neck pain was not that bad at the time. A commitment made is a commitment made. And my job was already made easy by providing the background colour and the palette I had to work with. BUt still, I had to pop a painkiller and get back to work.........here are two images: One of the finale and one, a collage of work-in-progress......



As usual, there are always firsts...........this one was the first time I used multiple strips at once, while working. The font was so tricky, it needed me to be using more than one strips, or else, I could never have probably gotten it working.

I know, this is not the best I can make but darn neck pain needs to go! :(

Composite element flower petal tutorial

Dear All,

A couple of days ago, while working on a project, one of my students and I made this flower. It is a delightfully simple flower and here goes the tutorial for the same....... please note that we don't own the design. I am merely posting the tutorial because I was asked to....



The colours used are: White, dark pink, light pink and lavender
