This poster was made for three colleagues leaving their current posts to go onto pastures new. One of them happened to be moi. So to mark the special occasion, I made a poster for the three of us as we are celebrating our leaving party together. The quilling work on this scale took 16 hours in total but done in a gentle, ‘taking-all-the-time-in-the-world’ kind of way. The best way to work (I think). I made some petals in all sorts of different shapes and came up with four main floral combinations. See below for the build-up of the quilling work. I decided to arrange them in an oval shape to contain the text announcement. I added a small touch (done in advance) of a hint of white horizontal lines, using white quilling paper against the textured background of the 300 gsm paper I used for the support. The poster is getting rave reviews at work, which is highly motivating and fulfilling, indeed.
