Miniature flower pots.

     Long time ago I bought some miniature ceramic pots, 3 cm in diameter and 3 cm in height, plans to use them later. When their turn came I combined puched flowers with a bit of quilling in order to obtain some miniature flowers. For the stem I used metal wire coated with crepe paper, 160 gsm paper for the leaves  (they've been cuted manually with scissors) and punched flowers to make the petals. As well I used stained egg carton for the soil inside the pot, which has to be strong enough to suport all the stuff above so, I very well glued it around to make a common body with the pot. In the end everything was waterproof coated with varnish. This was the way I obtained couple of 7.5 cm tall miniature flower pots.

Fridge magnets.

     I thought that will be a good idea to start making some fridge magnets, I've got the proper materials at home, the design was ready so... . I used some 3 to 4 cm in diameter woodchips I bought some time ago for another purposes and I decided should be nice to make my quilling on top of them, with leaves and roses and have the magnet behind. Look at the result! Hope you like it.
     Enjoy!

     I came with another jewelry box, the same shape as the previous one, a little bit bigger with inner dimeter  of 9 cm, outside 10 cm and 7 cm in height. The steps I've followed are the same like at the previous one.

Small size hexagonal quilled jewelry box.

     Hello again, in this period I've focused my attention over the jewelry boxes, so, I have another one ready. There is about a pressboard hexagonal box, small size with inner diameter 7 cm, exterior 8 cm, height: 5,5 cm, completely "dressed" in paper. For outside I've used 3 mm wide paperstrips to create an alternance of colours, ytellow and red. I decorated the front part and the top of the cover with some quilling items like small roses and some comb technique made items in order to give a  nice view overall.
     Le's see the pictures!
     Enjoy!
