Hallo, guten tag !😀

It has been a while that I did some quilling. And I have been thinking how it would look if I use a coloured background. And I absolutely love mandalas. My first work was also a mandala which can be seen  here. 

Coming back to the present project, I used a square canvas. And drew concentric circles at the center.

I painted these circles using acrylic paints.

I started at the center by making a basic tight coil. And some drop shaped pieces. 

I glued them using a clear dry glue.

Next I made an outline with a strip and for the red band, I used heart shaped pieces.

Similarly, going further ...

I added another red band and painted the remaining white space into black for better contrast.

And tadaa !! 😃

Dallah design using clay

Hello !!

Am very proud to present this beautiful art  😍which demands a lot of patience. This was made by my lovely sister😘. She made this on a piece of cardboard. And she used paste of dental powder and glue to pipe the design onto the board. 

Vase makeover using wool 2

Hello people, good morning 😊 !!

Here is another blog post for vase makeover. I have made two different vases similar to previous blog post, which can be seen  here. The first one is almost similar. I have used a different wool. I absolutely love the colours of this wool ❤. 

The second kind also has wool wrapped around it. I have glued some Styrofoam balls on it just to give it a little contrast.

Five more clay candle holders

Hello everybody 😃 !!

Here are some more candle holders I made using modeling clay. 

Design 1:

For this holder, I used a small glass holder, modeling clay and some tools to make dots and carve.

I started by rolling clay into a thick sheet and wrapped it around the glass holder. And I cut a circle into the clay sheet for covering the bottom of the holder. Then I smoothed out the edges.

Now I started making designs into the holder.

Once finished, I let it dry. Now it can be even painted.

Design 2:

The second variety includes heart design carved out of it. Similar to the above holder, I rolled a thick sheet of clay. I cut a circle out of it for the base. Then I cut wide band of clay out of the sheet similar to a wide ribbon. On the band now, I cut out shapes of heart. I have not used any stamps/punches for making hearts, I just used free hand style and cut them using a small knife. Then I attached the band onto the circular base using some drops of water. For the band to stay intact, the band has to be pretty thick. Otherwise thin bands will fall off and we have to constantly hold it in place, or use something for making it stand.

Once done, let it dry and done 😊

Design 3:

This is the similar holder as above. I have used toothpicks for making holes.

Design 4:

Only difference in this design is I have made semi circular shapes on the top. And added thin string at the neck.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~***~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Design 5:

Here I have tried something different. As usual, I made circular base. I made some balls and thick strings out of clay. I had some wire which I cut in small equal parts. I stuck these wires around the circular base at equal intervals. Next, I pressed one of the strings onto the wires such that it pierces out of the string. Now I pierced the balls onto the wires and so on.   

Vase makeover using wool 1

Hello lovely people !

Happy new month 😃. Here is a tutorial of making use of used bottles into something decorative.

 I have used glass bottles but one can use even plastic. So things you need are: wool, clear dry glue, clean dry bottle.

Start by making a knot at the bottom. and start wrapping the wool by pasting it with glue. 

As the surface of the bottle is very smooth, the wool tends to slide off at the areas with smaller circumference. So try to hold the wool till the glue is dry. This project needs constant pushing of the wool in direction opposite to wrapping. I have started wrapping from bottom to neck. You can also try the opposite way. It might be easier.

In the end, I made a knot and left little bit wool hanging.

And added some wooden beads to the left over string.

Just to cover up some area in the bottom, I glued some pearl like beads.

And here you go 😊
