Popular Post bobc Posted October 12, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 12, 2019 I like to combine scrolling with quilling.....quilling is take paper strips, rolling them and then creating different shapes with them....i've created a series of 4 fairies...the moon fairy is #1.....the designs are my own creation....i used 1/2" baltic birch plywood for the frame, which is cut on my Excaliber EX 21....the frame is then painted and sanded.....the paper strips are 1/4" wide in a three color gradient.....the "veining" in the body of the fairy is something that i came up with...i use an FD Superior puzzle blade to cut the "veining" lines and then feed the 1/4" paper in.....the crystals are Swarovski and give a little "bling" to the fairy..... After i created the moon fairy and framed it, i felt it needed a little something on the frame to perk it up, so i designed the corner gussets.....they also include the "veining" of the wood and paper insert....i also build the poplar wood shadow box frames for the piece.....i hope you enjoy the piece....i had a blast designing and making it.....

Ron Johnson Posted October 12, 2019 Report Share Posted October 12, 2019 I’v always liked quilling and have seen others beautiful work but have never tried it (maybe one day). I like your creative idea of combining both art forms. All I can say is you have done a fabulous job designing and finishing a beautiful project. Well done Bob.

What glue is used to hold the paper strips in place? i use aileens tacky glue for the initial assembly and then a light coat of aileens clear gel glue thinned 50% with water and lightly brushed on from the rear....i quill the piece from the back since i want the 1/4” paper to to be flat with the front....hope this helps.. ps: love royers round top cafe! bob Edited October 13, 2019 by bobc JimErn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meflick Posted October 14, 2019 Report Share Posted October 14, 2019 As everyone has noted, it is indeed a beautiful piece of art you have hand crafted. The quilling adds an extra depth, dimension and color to your fairy. I have done some quilting over the years, pretty sure I still have a quilling tool or two in my workroom. Maybe one day I can add some dimension to a project. Thanks for showing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
