Quilled Cherry Blossoms

The significance of the cherry blossom tree in Japanese culture goes back hundreds of years. In their country, the cherry blossom represents the fragility and the beauty of life. It's a reminder that life is almost overwhelmingly beautiful but that it is also tragically short.

What a Beauty it is to watch the cherry blossom... Life is Definitely Beautiful when we happen to sit under a cherry blossom tree. I wish to experience it one day....Until then here is my quilled cherry blossom branch with two birds (resembling LOVE) :) About the Project:I have colored the canvas board blue for the sky.I have used brown quilled paper for the branches.Few branches are made by quilling spirals.Birds in red quilled paper- loose coils made to shape like a bird . One facing front and the other facing backwardsThe blooming pink flowers are made with eccentric rolls with a yellow fringed flower in the center. I truely enjoyed rolling every bit of this project.... I am entering this project for the Indian Quilling Challenge IQCG#23

Flowers wreath and butterfly on a hard base

This one is yet to be framed. I got this design from online search engine and just tried to redo. So far i tried quilling with toothpicks,matchsticks and used scrap paper i had or i cut my own papers.This was my first try after i bouhgt my quilling too and quality quilling paper from the shops. I was able to feel the difference. The quilling strips coiled very well and they easily took the shape unlike the one's i used earlier.

So if you are a beginner practise withe the scrap papers you have....Once you get hold of the techniques you can goahead and buy the kit thats available in crafts stores.
