Christmas Nativity

I've always wanted to make this nativity set, but couldn't get myself to sit and make it. Alas, I couldn't resist, and so I  made this for Christmas, completed right before Christmas Eve. I should thank Cheryl from 'A Paper Life', who is the original creator of the Nativity set. This is my basic version. You can check her blog @ http://cardsbycheryl.blogspot.com/2010/08/quilled-nativity3d-quilling.html

I am so pleased to see it finally done, since its only my first try; I will try to make it better next time. This is only my second 3d work.... I have a long way to go till I reach perfection ;) 

Thanks for stoppin by. 

Wish each one of you a very Merry Christmas

Birthday Card by request!

Here's a birthday card my colleague wanted me to make,

using lot of red :) 

Since it was for his Fiancee, I added 'a lot of red' 

and he was happy with the outcome. 

And offcourse.... his Fiancee loved it alot. 

After all who wouldn't love a handmade card, that too from the heart :)

So I have been busy with work, my FB profile and my FB page and that's why I didnt get time to come here.. But here I am now :) 

This is what I did during August..... 

A card for my hubby, who had a really stressful day at work and this card was enough to make him smile and forget the stress of the day :)

Then it was my hubby's colleauges birthday,
short notice and I came up with this....

simple but cute, she liked it :)

And this is what I have been working on since quite sometime, 

and also my first framed piece on a bigger scale.

This one's made with lots of love my Darling Mum...

So what do ya have to say? 

Leave your comments and suggestion, would love to hear from you :)

3d Origami Swan

Origami is way different from Quilling and does need lots of patience.

I saw a picture of an Swan made with 3d Origami triangles and thought I should give it a try.... Well, I started cutting the paper, which was so tedious, cos I had to cut 32 rectangles from one A4 sheet of paper. I did cut 32rectangles from 16sheets and had 512 rectangular pieces. These were then turned into triangles, wow, that took all my patience, almost on the verge of quitting; but no with some encouragement and support from my Mom and Amna (check out Emirates Quilling Guild on Facebook), I didnt give up....   I continued... I folded the required triangles, then came the joining of pieces. I struggle to make the base, I think I joined and opened it atleast 6 times, and while I was going to give up (ya again) I thought I'll look up the instructions and see the video again.. only to find out, that I was doing it the wrong way... lol... my  mistake :P

But here you go, once I formed the base the building up of da body and tail of the Swan was a cake walk... 

Here she is... isnt she cute ;)

Well, next time (dont knw when that will be), but am gonna try makin a coloured one, this was just a trial :)
Enjoy!!!!
