I chose "Quill Me" as a title when I looked back at Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll. The label on the bottle "Drink Me" was an invitation to Alice and "Quill Me" is an invitation to feel inspired and quill.Bronwynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11282571558665265786noreply@blogger.comBlogger561100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6762658134010863123.post-9518583291623502782012-02-01T15:07:00.004+11:002012-02-01T17:51:26.889+11:00

I wanted to take a photo of my quilled 3D angel by candlelight to use as a Christmas card this year.. My husband helped me work out the camera settings  and how we could place the candle to get the reflected light onto the angel. All in all I'm pleased with the way it turned out

Part of the story of Christmas, this is my simple design of the Magi using quilling and stickers. We do not really know if there were 3 or 4 or more.  Maybe there was a whole caravan of camels and people.  I like to think the 3 represent all the others on the journey including us. Maybe I  should have kept this to post on Twelfth Night

 My button tree card - recycled paper and buttons. Christmas bauble with quilled fringed flowers and matching red bling to hang on a tree. Good news for me is I have finished my present shopping for the family and once presents are wrapped and put away I can concentrate on organising a baby shower for my daughter.

Thank you for blog hopping around the world and stopping by in Australia.  Hope you enjoy your travels. The leaf I choose to feature is the variegated holly. And as I love wreaths and it is close to Christmas, I decided to make the wreath below. I have a lovely old book published in 1950 called "A Wreath of Flower Legends" by Rose Sydenham Dugdale  for inspiration and it has a Norse

I am busy getting ready for the blog hop  Sshhh I cannot disclose what I am making until  it all happens on November 4th.  It should be very exciting.   Meanwhile...... It is never to early to get ready for Christmas.  I have cooked 2 fruit cakes so far - one is a present and one is for church cake stall. And this is my first angel for the year. I have also started on some gift tags and cards.

A small floral wreath with a rainbow effect for the September challenge onhttp://creativequilling.forumotion.com/The flowers and leaves are glued to florist wire. It was hard to pick a project and I had written down a few things to try such as a hot air balloon or some jewellery.But in the end I decided on a wreath.

I have an order for some butterfly cards. I am going to make a few different cards and let the customer pick the ones they would like. I will never forget when we visited a butterfly sanctuary in Cairns http://www.australianbutterflies.com/ One could stay there all day as it is such a lovely place

I have made various cards this afternoon and this is my favourite. The flower on this card is done in raspberry red and I have included a small amount of "bling" The side border on this card is a Kaiser paper border over washi tape. My next card will include a butterfly as I have an order for some cards specifically with butterflies

With this card I have used pink Kaiser paper as a background. Then burgundy red for the concave petals on the flower with a pink edge. A nice change from roses.

The timeless quality of Flower fairies and quilling come together in my latest card.I am enjoying using these fairy pictures which came free with a UK papercraft magazine.Since taking this photo I added some extra bling in a spiral connecting the butterfly and the fairy. These extra touches quite often come to mind after viewing the photo of my work.By the way, hello to all my 70 followers!

This card has a pretty "Kaiser" paper as a background. I have placed spiral roses on a heart cut from a lace doily.The paper is inspiring and so are the others in the Kaiser pad. There are so many lovely papers to choose from these days.

In years gone by a lady never went out of the house without her hat. Such formality these days has been swept into the pages of history and it is only on very formal occasions one would even consider wearing a hat like the one above.I do have a hat case in my possession that belonged to my great aunt. What tales it could tell of days gone by.The lady with the hat is another image from http:

In this card I have used a delightful free digital stamp fromhttp://digitaltuesday.blogspot.com/It was published earlier in May and I knew I wanted to do some quilling with it.I seem to have a fixation with spiral roses at the moment but they add just the right touch of elegance.I have added a sparkly necklace as well.

Quilled cross with punched butterfly in centre.In the last few days I have been tidying my craft magazines and books. On glancing through some of them, I can see quilling projects I have wanted to try but had forgotten about.Some magazines will be going to the op shop where I hope someone else will find them useful.

Recently my Dad died, so I have just got back to some quilling. It was a sad time for the family but as we cricket supporters say "He had a good innings"My Easter card has an egg decoration, trimmed with washi tape and lace sticker. Then I have placed a gold metallic flower on top.

For those of us in Australia, January is a long holiday time especially for school children.Having not done any quilling since my Christmas cards, I am going to participate in a blog hop.This has inspired me to get my quilling underway for the New Year.Come and see what sweet minded quillers are up to. Come and do a blog hop on Saturday 29th January New York time which will be Sunday 30th here

Each time I make one of these I just love the delicate effect of the quilling. Yet they are very sturdy.This ornament is about 8cm in diameter. It is decorated with seed beads and ribbon.I plan to use this photo, printed out many times and make my Christmas cards for 2010

My blue angel is actually only the 2nd one I have done.She is heralding the beginning of Advent which is about a week away.Getting into the Festive Spirit is fun and keep us quillers busy with ornaments and cards for those who we know love something a little different.

I have been too busy lately with family matters so I have not made many cards. But I have to get busy and make some for a craft market in a week's time.I find simple cards are good to get one into the "groove" again and before you know it the creative brain is thinking of something new to do.Using some of my scrapbook paper.I am also working on some Christmas projects which I will post closer to

The emu is a very curious bird and has to investigate anything in its territory. If you are in the country and you see a mob of emu, you can make a banging noise and they will come running to investigate. I remember my Dad showing us this once on a trip. In fact, some of them can become tame if near people all the time, such as in campgrounds. Just beware its sharp beak if you have any food in

I am getting back into quilling Aussie animals over the past 2 weeks. We tend to take our kangaroos for granted especially when we see a mob of them in the bush. They are an amazing animal well suited to their home continent, adjusting to drought conditions by not producing as many young until the drought breaks.

Echidna's are one of my favourite Australian marsupials.The last time I saw one I think was several years ago, when we had a holiday on Kangaroo Island off South Australia. We saw one walking along beside the unmade road.As soon it heard the car it curled up in a defence mechanism with all it's spiky spines showing. If you want to read more about the life of an echidna check out this sitehttp://

I have done this card even though frogs are not my favourite creature. A quilled frog is much easier for me to handle.I realise frogs are important and how we must maintain their habitat and a good enviroment for all of us.From an Aussie book""Practical Quilling" by Anne Redman.

I have decided to join in the July Challenge on the Creative Quilling Forum - the theme is " The Heart" and there are many fine entries. It will be hard to pick my favourite when voting time comes.I think I need to add a ribbon to this card.

This is a card that can be adapted for any occasion. I have used scrapbook paper for 2 of the fringed flowers to match the paper and the card colours.

With our cold winter weather well and truly here, I needed to do some colourful flowers to brighten up the day.We have the Queen's Birthday weekend coming up and many people are heading to the mountains for the opening of the ski season.I will be staying at home and doing some craft work.

I saw a tutorial on Terri's blog http://artfulaffirmations.blogspot.com/ of a vintage shoe and knew I had to try it out immediately. What an inspiration!I searched through my papers and used red card stock as well as an Anna Griffin paper. I used on this on my fan years ago and it fitting there is now a shoe to match the fan. I did a bone coloured quilled flower and leaves as decoration,

A misty start to the day I am thinking about the things i have to do before I go out.I am thankful for my heater keeping me warm.From the kitchen the sound of a kettle boiling, for my coffee I am wearing black slacks and skivvy to keep warm. I will change later when I go out I am creating a new quilled card in my craft time but

A little face peeps out from a colourful quilt.This is my very own baby design. It has existed for some time in my imagination and now it has come to birth , so to speak.I am looking forward to doing similar cards in different colours.

Another fine and sunny Autumn day here. We had a cold clear night and now a warm day. I have my cat beside me catching the sun as it falls on the carpet. She is in grooming mode.I decided to do another nostalgic silhouette card and this time it was for a 70th birthday. The image can be found at http://karenswhimsy.com/public-domain-images I used metallic yellow paper for the flowers as well

I was inspired to do this fish from a picture of a wall decoration in a home decorating magazine.. The fish was made from rolls of wire for the sculpture .I had a request from a customer for a fish card. So I made one in paper.

I have been busy lately with a few cards. This is one I have done using a silhouette. It is something I have always wanted to do, combining the two mediums of quilling and silhouette work. They both have such fascinating histories.I have used an image from Public Domain ImagesThe card is now in a basket on a Mother's Day stall at church.

I often wonder where my fan is at this moment in time. Some years ago I organised a fan swap on the Yahoo quillers group and this is one I made, inspired by Jane Jenkins design in her book, "Quilling- Techniques and Inspiration". The fan went all the way to the USA.I used gold paper for the whole design. The centre piece is some scrapbook paper embellished with metallic quilling paper. The

My parents have just celebrated 60 years of marriage and close family members helped them celebrate last weekend. We all had a wonderful time celebrating with a dinner at Craig's Royal Hotel, Ballarat. The whole week or two has had a series of surprises for them, including a message from the Queen.This is my card for them. The heart sticker is a Mrs Grossman's one, which I have stored away for
