House - quilled and framed
I had an idea of that creation for a loooooong time. And I started it almost a year ago - look there for the beginning.
That's a quilled picture as a gift for my friend, her husband's name begins with D, her name - with O, son's name with M, and their initials form a "DOM"-word, that means house. But while I was thinking and making... the lady got pregnant and is waiting for her second son now! So I had to hurry up and send her this piece before I have to add another room =))))
I added flowers and trees - according to the family member's birthdays and flower-tree horoscope.
Portulaca and jasmine for husband. Lady has willow (had no room for it) and poppy. Son has lilacs and maple.
My mom said that house alone is a dull view, so I added quilled flowers - well, frankly speaking, that's what people wait from quilling, not the bricks, right?..
Close-ups of the rooms:
Brain slug there =))) from Futurama since lady's husband is a fan of Matt Groening =)
My friend loves to paint, and loves lighthouses to paint =)
And I love how poppies turned out. Aren't they cute?
Another kid, soon-to-come. Featherwork on the bird
Tissue stippling for the lilac and beaded spray,
Flowers, flowers, flowers...
My friend liked the gift. Although I had to send it as is - with no glass =(((( my bad... I bought a "plastic glass frame" - to send it by post, but failed to adhere it. Two glues didn't stick, and the last reacted with that "glass" and stained it =( had to remove it... and sending glass by Russian post is like sending a bagful of brittle glass, just the same...
Well, I hope she can forgive me =)
Thanks for looking!
