  1. love it...watched your video...are using heavy cardboard or thin wood.... bob
  2. Every year i design a Christmas ornament, which this year is a stocking...anyway....one of my customers asked if i could incorporate the letter "G" in to the stocking design, in place of the christmas tree for his nephew, Grant, who is 3..... the stocking is cut from 1/2" baltic birch plywood...sanded, painted and glittered......the paper quilling is 1/4"...of course i had to add some Swarovski bling for Christmas....enjoy.... bob
  3. congrats on your winning piece.....absolutely beautiful...... bob
  4. it’s calling quilling....it’s been around since the renaissance...check out the little circles group on facebook...i post a lot of my work there https://www.facebook.com/groups/littlecircles/ bob
  5. a little bit of glue in the right place!!!...it’s pretty simple really ... bob
  6. I just finished this one for a customer.....the poplar shadowbox frame size is 10 x 10....so the piece is about 6 inches tall......it is cut from 1/2" baltic birch ply, sanded and painted.....the quilled paper strips are 1/4" wide which i roll and then shape.....and of course we added some Swarovski bling, to make the piece pop.....the background paper is a very fine glitter paper that i buy at michaels.....anyway, enjoy...... Bob
  7. thanks everyone for the kind words......i really like combining scrolling and quilling...will post more pieces... bob
  8. love the design...beautiful job. bob
  9. 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
  10. 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..... Bob
