Quilled Shapes-5

S-Scroll

                             S-Scroll

Take a strip of paper and mark the center with a light pencil mark. Now insert one end of the paper into the slot of the tool or around the tooth pick and roll till you are a little away from the center. Ease of the coil to the work surface and let it settled down to a loose coil.

Now turn (flip) the strip to the other side (reverse) and then roll the other end similarly till you reach a little away from the center. Ease of and let it settled down.

Both the coils should be rolled in the same direction. The size of the coils can be same or  different. Arrange the strip in the shape of "S" and glue it to the base paper or card. since I have not glued mine, the shape of S is not perfect.

Butterfly Sampler

Day-13

Here is one more Quilled Butterfly for my Sampler. I have not glued it. That is why you can see its legs separately. They should be glued to the body...

C-Scroll

Take a strip of paper and identify the mid point. No need to fold. Roll one end clock wise till you reach a little distance from mid point. Ease it off the tool and let it set itself. 

Similarly roll the other end anti clock wise till it touches the first coil. That is both rolls should be towards inside and touching each other. Now ease it off to the work surface. 

Both the rolls should be of the same size. They will be loose and form a "C" shaped curve .

Practise this with shorter lengths of paper first till you get it right.
