Week Fifteen: Goddess

Years ago, when I had only been quilling for a few months I made a card with a girls face in profile. I did it on a black card, and she just had simple curly hair that was rainbow coloured using two tone quilling paper (side note, two tone quilling paper is hard to find these days!). I thought I'd reprise this sort of design but update it with my new skills and add in a bit of a theme.

For some reason, we'll call it inspiration, I decided she should be entirely made of shades of purple and teal, and the whole 'Goddess' idea just came to me as I went. I put all sorts of fun shapes through her hair; my favourite is the feather.

I love her little grin and her cute nose - it reminds me of Samantha from Bewitched. I imagine this goddess could twitch her nose and make a cool breeze blow or the moon shine brighter.

..maybe she's my muse...

As we're headed for Autumn, next week's project is going to celebrate that!

Week Five: Nativity Scene

A day late, I know. I'm flakey. Let's move on.

This week's is short, sweet and simple, and is in theme for this week's coming special day.

It's simple but I think it does the trick. I added extra stars with a gold pen as I didn't want other quilled stars to complicate the scene.

 

I think the minimalist imagery is appropriate, a more detailed depiction of the scene would need to be done on a much larger scale to be done well.

 



I wish you all a very Merry Christmas, I hope you have a lovely week. Next week's project will celebrate the New year!
