Hi all,
Let me first apologize for not updating my blog. Had been busy with lot of custom orders.
This post is about making a wall frame with a quilled name. This was done in May 2018. Better late than never. Let me get to it.
The requirement was in shades of pink colour for a girls room. So I selected various shades of pink (almost 7 different shades) in varous widths.
I decided to make the actual name in white to make it stand out. I cut my own strip from white cardstock. On a white cardstock background I pasted the completed name (Technique Typography). To incorporate the various shades I decided to make it like a gradient. Made swirls from the strips and glued them on around the name.
To give impression of a crown I made a floral design above the first alphabet of the girls name. To make the floral shape i pinched the swirls at one end to make a teardrop for the petal and made a tight coil with a contrast colour for the centre. To give dimension to the work I added few tight coils randomly in between the swirls.
To make the wall decor more personalized I decided to incorporate the picture of the girl into the frame. So made a circular frame with quilling strip and cut the photo to fit in and placed it on the top right corner.
Added few concentric circles with border buddy and made a scroll with two colour strips glued together. added few other curved scrolls and tear drop shaped to fill in the space on the top.
Now for the bottom portion I added two flowers and multicoloured scrolls to fill the spaces.
Hope you like my work. Feel free to leave your comments. Those who wish to try doing this can do so. Any doubts you have I will be happy to clear them and help you create your masterpiece.
Happy quilling!!!
