KIAN.....my first attempt at quilling

-
Hello,

    After going through quite a few blogs and buying a quilling kit from a local art shop, this was my first attempt at quilling.

    Kian,my friend/senior/advisor/caretaker's son was celebrating his first birthday in three days and I had not found any gift worthy of the occassion.You see his Mom Mansi is a very artistic lady who does a lot of knitting, crocheting, embroidery, stitching and painting in her spare time.So I wanted the gift to be something that she would love and cherish.This is what I made for him.The entire process from designing to finishing took about four hours.Please excuse the poor quality frame that I tried to make[it was my first attempt at making a shadowbox too]

     All elements were made from 3mm wide strips.

    Constructive criticism and suggestions are welcome.

   Until next time,
   Avanti....

So it shouldn't come as a surprise that this post is about a gift as well. My cousin sister was back for a short break from London for the other cousin's wedding(where I gifted the warli frame previously posted). She had completed her Masters and I wanted to make something for her. I had the orange handmade paper left after the wedding gift in the previous post. So I made some pretty mandalas on them. It was a trial and error attempt and i had decided to make something else for her just in case it didn't turn out well. But the result was decent and my mom and artist cousin approved of it. So got these framed and gave them to her. She liked these a lot. These two mandalas were made in about 2 hours on a Thursday , given for framing that very evening, collected on Friday and gifted on Saturday morning because sh
