Quilling craft - 3D floral and curls pattern on glass frame

Back with some more quilling patterns and new techniques in quilling. I am posting something after quite long time. So thought of showing how you can quill different things on different background.

This time I have done quilling on a plane glass photo frame.

I got this opportunity to do this art for one of our client. My manager was the one who approached me to this as she wanted to gift it to the client, as i always say handmade gifts are always beautiful and precious. And the gifts was obviously liked by one and all.

I had used simple quilling technique on the frame which actually changed the looks of the plane glass effect.

I used 3D flower technique with curls designs, used just 4 colours of quilling paper and it turned out to be a beautiful frame.

So thanks to my manager "Prachi" for giving me an opportunity showcase my talent.
Thanks to "Doris" for appreciating my work.

Tips on crystal glass painting, quilling craft

Hi Friends,

As i was away for long time i got lot of mails regarding glass painting, crystal glass painting and my Quilling work. Now I'm here to clarify all those queries.

Where do i get crystal pieces from?

To start with the crystal painting even i was not very sure about how it looks and where can i get that, so i broke some glass and made small pieces out of it. Later on i got to know we get these crystal pieces easily available in art store which are actually not glass pieces. Its plastic crystal pieces which is transparent and looks like glass pieces. So you can ask for crystal pieces anywhere in art store and can start doing crystal glass painting.

How do i stick those crystal pieces and what glue to use?

As you do regular glass painting draw an outline of the design and instead of using glass colours firstly apply glue (fevicol) on the design and then paste crystal pieces on it. After it dries and get stuck properly apply glass painting colours as per the design. The crystal effect embosses the particular design where you have the crystals which gives a different effect altogether.

QUILLING CRAFT:

1. Which glue i use for Quilling craft?

Its basically called as white glue. But i exactly don't know where will i get white glue, so I use FEVICOL MR.

2. On e of my visitor mailed me asking for fringed flower "Found your blog very interesting and your creations beautiful, as I make quilled greeting cards myself. Especially the fringed flowers. They look so dainty. Could you tell me whether you have cut with ordinary scissors or used a fringer ?"

I never use fringing machine as the flower wont look that good using a fringing machine.. I use normal scissors for fringing the flower as that gives natural effect.

If you still have any queries and concerns feel free to contact me.

Reshmi.

Crystal Glass painting - Beautiful Red Roses

Here is my first try on something new to glass painting. This is mostly known to everyone but i have tried Crystal glass painting for the first time.

It was a bit confusing for me when i saw its pictures for the first time on a website, so thought of trying out from my side. The materials used were simple as of glass painting itself just an extra thing used were crystal glass pieces.

Materials used:
1. Glass (size as per your design)
2. Crystal pieces
3. Glue
4. Design for tracing
5. Glass paint colours
6. Black glass liner

How to make:

1. Just as you do normal glass painting trace design on glass using black glass liner.

2. If the designs has different portions then it will be more easier and more attractive. So apply glue on each portions and paste the crystal pieces on them.
After you apply the crystal pieces colour them as per the design. Follow the procedure as per the picture shown.

3. The same procedure applies to the whole design.

4. If you want you can do this technique only on flowers and do the normal glass painting for the other parts like leaves and all, this can give a different effect on your painting.

5. This way try out this new technique on glass painting. When i tried out i never thought this can turn out so amazing.

Friends, I would like to get suggestions for this painting technique as this is just a trial from my side. So if anyone thinks there can be different method for crystal glass painting feel free to share with me.

Here is my completed painting technique.

Quilling patterns and designs - Design on Envelope

If you start trying out Quilling you can get any design any pattern. If you have good imagination power and creativity you can create any kind of designs.

Here i tried out a beautiful design on envelope.

This time the design got good scrolls, i tried out doing scrolls designs and it came out really good.

The flower pattern is a bit different. I have arranged each petal alternatively using different pattern and colours.

use two different colour marquises for petals and arrange it in a 3D effect.
Place one petal on the paper as normally you glue it and for the second petal give and embossed effect i.e. don't stick it to the paper instead just glue the tip of the petal and emboss it.

Here is the envelope of designs using different colours and patterns.
