Butterfly Sampler

Day 12

Another of my quilled butterflies for my sampler using paper this time.

I have used paper straw for the antennae. 

Rangoli-115

Pumpkins

Pumpkins are used in making a variety of dishes in India. It is very popular vegetable in South India too.  Especially in Andhra Pradesh, known as Gummadi Kaaya in the Coastal areas, it is invariably cooked on all auspicious occasions. No marriage celebration is complete with out the Gummadi Kaya Pulusu or pumpkin soup.

Here is the Rangoli of Pumpkins:

The dots used are 13 to 1.

Quilled Shapes-3

Open Coil or Scroll

Open Coil or Scrolls are left loose and not glued like the closed coils. Many shapes can be formed in scrolls. These are used for making letters or other designs. They give a delicate appearance to the design.


We will see the shapes one by one. The first is simple scroll.

            Open Coil or Scroll

Just roll a strip using the quilling tool or tooth pick. Remove it from the tool and let it fall onto your work surface. The roll will loosen up. Don't glue the end. This is the simplest form of the scroll. There are other shapes which I am going to post one by one.


So keep a watch on my blog.....
