Muddled Mutt - Graphic Quilling Picture Landscape Art

Wellll... this graphic quilled mutt  looks so confused that he reminds me of a poster I saw at one of my work places... " I've tried so hard to turn into what you want me to be that I've forgotten what I am..." and he had the same dumb look on his face.

For this one I used a combination of strips and quilled loose coils. I tried to get the wrinkled look by crushing the coils before shaping them. I think it came out kinda cool. Just the way I wanted.

Both the eyes differ on purpose.

Graphic Quilling Picture Landscape Art- Bambi & Thumper Twittypating

I Love Bambi so I thought I'd try quilling a line drawing. This is done graphic quilling style and was created by pasting a single strip in place of lines.Wow! I like the way it turned out.

I quilled tight coils for the nose & eyes. To get the highlight in the eye, I pasted a white tight coil after shaping the black coil and pasted it to the side and then wrapped it around in black once again. I am proud of the way the eyes turned out, as I have managed to maintain the innocent sparkle in the eye.

And for the foliage I used left over fillers and paper. The round flower is beehive quilling , the grass flowers are created by folding the strip up & Down while holding it between your thumb and index finger and then encircling and pasting the strip.

I usually use the beehive circle for treetops and the zig zag circle for quilling images.

Quilled Picture Landscape Art- A Feathery Discussion

This quilled picture of birds came out really well.
I have used Husking for the head and tail. For the male's tail feathers I fringed a 3mm . blue strip slightly and pasted to the husked tail feather.

I created the branched and the bird's feet by rolling the paper on a toothpick like a cylinder.

The leaves are my own creation. I just cut it in shape and folded it at the center and then folded it like a fan . I love the look.

The big mistake I made was not thinking of the background before quilling the birds. Then I had to quill round the birds to create the backdrop which took me a lot of time. Beginners please don't make the same mistake.

Graphic Quilling -Harmony in Contrast

This is a combination of graphic paisley design quilling and 3d flowers. All elements are quilled using black & White. For the roses I pasted a black strip on white and quilled it.
The large flower has two layers of half black half whiye teardrop petals.

Quilled Flowers Cascade in Blue

I have never used blue so I made these quilled 3d flowers from dark blue, light blue and white strips. Just made up the design as I went along.
The flowers are made in two layers. The bottom layer is dark blue 1/2  A4 strips teardrops. The top layer is 1" white strip pasted to 1.5" light blue and made into teardrops. The centre is a light blue loose coil with 2 white 1mm 1/4 " scrolls stuch vertically to maj=ke the stamen.

The leaves are made using husking.
