The Art of Quilling
.
Look what arrived for me yesterday! It's a sweet little 5" square card made by Brenda at If Looks Could Quill. How could I not buy it? It's paper art, square, symmetrical and heart themed - totally me. I'm going to frame it - I'm thinking a red frame.
I've tried quilling, it's not as easy as one might think - to get the coils even and flat.

I use some of the same tools that quillers use and I highly recommend Quilled Creations. The first order I placed with Alli arrived the following day, which shocked me - until I looked at the return address - she's right here in Fairport. In fact, I stopped over at her house to pick up an order once. She's very talented and nice and provides great customer service.
I just searched for quilling on Etsy.com and more cool stuff came up. Lots of talent out there!

Oh, how pretty!
Exquisite! One would need very nimble fingers to do such fine work. Not unlike your fine work with stitching and teeny tiny embellishments.
OHHH Lucky you to have a Brenda original!
She is becoming a very talented quiller in addition to being a wonderful person.
As are all quillers! LOL
Paula was one of my very first design team members at Custom Quilling and I noticed a post about Doreen who is a current DT.
What a small world the internet has made!!
Keep on Quillin',

Brenda's work is beautiful. She made a number of filigree nativity scenes for Christmas gifts and several of her designs captured a sense of gracefulness that is often missing when doing filigree figures.
I appreciate the shout-out and compliment for my blog and work!
To think we met on the professional cardmakers group way back when! Like Denise said, the internet has certainly brought the whole world a bit closer to home.
