A new design. On an oblong brown card. Yes definitely not the perfect colour :P (happens to be my least favourite actually, along with peach). So added a fringed flower to perk things up. I know that you get special fringers for doing this but since they aren't available anywhere near where I stay, I make do with a basic scissor. Just take a 2cm wide strip of paper and give one side very fine cuts, carefully avoiding cutting right through the paper. Then roll it, gluing the uncut edge. Finally fluff out the fringed edge and you're ready with a flower! It baely takes any time and adds character (or so I feel).
take care

Hey Chandini... Just saw your work. Really good!
Just a thought though... are you still shredding strips of paper yourself? Quilling paper is available in India... it might save you hours of effort, right?
I love your quilling, Chandni! Will check back regularly.
Hi Chandni, its nice to see someone in delhi doing quilling. I am also teaching this art in delhi. You should buy quilling paper that will save you lot of time & energy. Soon I will put my works online as I am preparing my collection.
Thanks everyone!! If anyone knows where I can get quilling strips in Delhi please please let me know...thanks :)
Hi ,
I was reading ur blog posts and found some of them to be very good.. u write well.. Why don't you popularize it more.. ur posts on ur blog ‘quaint quills’ took my particular attention as some of them are interesting topics of mine too;
BTW I help out some ex-IIMA guys who with another batch mate run www.rambhai.com where you can post links to your most loved blog-posts. Rambhai was the chaiwala at IIMA and it is a site where users can themselves share links to blog posts etc and other can find and vote on them. The best make it to the homepage!
This way you can reach out to rambhai readers some of whom could become your ardent fans.. who knows.. :)
Cheers,
