Quilling for dummies

Jan 10, 2006 19:35

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.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.
