bobc got a reaction from Jronn65 in The Moon Fairy
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.....

bobc got a reaction from frankorona in Letter G with Swallowtail Butterfly
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......
