~ quilled bride and groom sheep frame

  wow....has it really been that long since I last blogged

well I have been blogging.... and lots of it

but not for me

my parents took a trip across Canada and back through the US

and I've been ghost blogging for them...if you want to check out the blog go here....

Sheila and Glen's Excellent Adventure and start at day one

it's been fun and I've learned a lot about North American geography along the way

but I have still been quilling and I have a gem I've been wanting to blog about for a long time

and now it has been received.... in Greece, I can share it

it started with an email from Alex in Greece, a drawing and a frame

first thing I did was make the guests of honour....the bride and the groom

then I placed them in the frame and added paper cutouts of what was left to quill

Alex was specific which really helped me out - she wanted

quilling in a frame...like a painting but quilled

black sheep with a hat and a bow tie as the groom

white sheep with glitter veil or holding a bouquet as the bride

small farm house

a tree, a flower, clouds, sun

both on a bike with cans?

write something or leave it plain or just married , 7th September 2013 

 

Vassiliki & Sotiris (bride & groom)

  

 

 

 so this drawing turned into this quilled wedding frame

the hardest part for me was figuring out how to have something in the foreground

with other things in the background so I cut strips of the same coloured paper

in to curves to represent rolling hills and I think it worked

and voila  ... the final product mailed to Alex in Greece

after quite a few nail biting weeks I received this note from Alex

and to say it made my day is an understatement....

Hi Cheryl,
