~ quilled penguin card

 ~ good morning

I often get people asking me if I can quill a certain graphic or logo from a picture

so when I saw this graphic on line I thought I would practice with this cute penguin

it doesn't always translate well but for this little penguin 

I was happy with the initial results

 

this was my first shot at it which isn't too bad

but trying to duplicate them was making me go nuts

each one was turning out different which I find REALLY frustraiting 

but I did learn a lot from the process

I need to slow down and take more time when making my shapes 

especially when I want them to look the same

~ card for Sandie Wandie

 ~ whewwww

told you I had lots to share

this is a quilled birthday cake I made for my good friend Sandie

{or Sandie Wandie as I like to call her}

 the cake stand was done in photo shop

I wasn't sure how it would turn out once the cake was glued on but I like it

I have a feeling you will be seeing more of these cakes and stands

and I am not done yet

still lots more cards to show you....

~ quilled purple Malaysian flower

~ I was recently asked to make a card with a purple flower on it....

 

 I immediately thought of the Malaysian flower that is all the rage right now

I went with my old stand-by vase that I usually make....

 

and of course, a little bling never hurts

honeybee centre {six} christmas

 ~ honeybee ctr {six} is a cutie patootie

I wasn't quite sure how this one was going to turn out 

but I quite like it

~ honeybee centre {five}

 ~ I know I said the next honeybee ctr cards 

would be Christmas but I forgot about one

...honeybee ctr 5

he looks very similar to honeybee ctr 2 but the colours are a bit different 

and #5 is made from 1/8" quilling paper and #2 is 1/4"

 

this one also has a buzzzzzz trail 

which I think is kinda cute

honeybee centre {four}

~ here is a bit of a different bee for me

a bit more realistic

it kind of reminds me of the movie 'a bugs life'

only two more designs to show you

but the last two are Christmas cards

and a happy belated thanksgiving to my Canadian readers

it's always a busy weekend but the turkey was fantastic

edited to add....
here is a picture of the honeybee ctr logo which is where I got the inspiration for this bee
some are saying it looks more like a wasp but I really don't know the difference
I guess I pointed the head and wings so it looks a bit waspish

thanks for all of your comments 

 

~ honeybee centre {one}

~ thought I may as well start with the cards 

I made for the honey bee centre

not much to say about them

they are all bees but....

...each one is special in it's own way

and I love them all
