Quilling for dummies

  • Jan. 10th, 2006 at 7:35 PM

NEVER in my life was I doing any art for long, I like, but my hands are not as good as I want them to be.
We went to Artfriend yesterday and I was attracted to the quilling sets. I wanted to buy, but Mike told me not to, just buy the paper, which I did. Since today's raining, I spent my entire day at home, doing nothing but quilling. He made some simple tools which were very helpful.


I seriously have not heard of quilling before. Forgive me for being such a suaku.
I have to say if Anny can do it, any dummies will be able to do this(and even better job than Anny!). It's really fun.
Here are some links to some professional work
http://www.handcraftersvillage.com/quilling.htm
http://www.amytree.com/quilling/gal2.html
http://www.quilledcreations.com/ * I love this site, how did they do it??*

Mike commented, he has never seen me so interested in something *giggle*


Edited to include more, also pinched the balloons a little since so many complained that they look like flowers *roll eyes*


It's been raining these few days, pls remember to bring your umbrella.

Welcome to the world of Jane Austen. Are you going to turn into one of the four thousand pounds a year heiress of the Austen days? Quilling is one of those things the ladies of that time do for leisure.

You surprise me also woh!
Actually art and craftwork is really very theraupic. I like to do craftwork too .. and i've always want to learn sewing and quilting and all that stuff .. you think there's demand for such classes? I mean .. wat stops me from pursueing this is everybody nowadays is so busy .. where got patience and time to go for these? Also, the materials mostly imported are not cheap lor so the operating cost quite high ...
