Manifold meanderings into making
This is another concoction using almost a polygonal arrangement with the flowers. This time, I wanted to keep the flowers natural looking by folding a rose. The white flowers seemed to work pretty well as an off-set triangle. This was just an accident, of course, no distinct design here, just random play and see what…

The weather seems to herald spring already. This year I wanted the folly flowers to be nocturnal. In Asia, there are flower species which bloom at night and are specially fragrant.So I thought why not use what’s left of my black linen-pressed-effect paper as the background for this tableau. For some reason, in the…

This week has certainly been mad-card-making-week. I’ve created several cards for all the events crammed into one week. I’ve left my job last Friday and I thought I’d make a nice card for all the folks at work. I had such a laugh with all of them and I loved working there. But life has…

It was my friend’s birthday last Friday. I made this card thinking about the colour green (she goes gaga over green) and the fact that she is a wonderful home-maker. I got quite a reaction. She says she’ll have it framed! I love it when the person likes my card. It creates a warm, gooey…

This little creation was a birthday card. I had a few of these black thick paper (probably 300 gsm) with a linen press effect. I thought why not compose an Ikebana arrangement of flowers and make them pop out against the textured paper? Man, Heaven and Earth with a bit of poetic license.
Read MoreIt’s Boxing Day and I am posting again! Apologies to my dear readers for such a long hiatus. To make up for it, here are my card designs this year. For the last three months or so, I have been busy with a new job (livelihood bit) and an heirloom quilt for a friend of…
Read MoreI have been a bit hooked into making these daisies lately after my previous big work. I decided to make some more for Johanna’s Hawaiian-themed birthday surprise. I also made a red lei for her, which she wore all night (I am proud to report)! The lei was a coup as I have not used…
Read MoreI thought I’d share this cute girlie card to greet mum and dad to be a big Congratulations on their little bundle of joy. I drew a bear on the reverse of this card and used a cutter knife to do the cut-out. I glued a purple bow, finished with a tightly quilled red coil.
Read MoreA small A5 size card for a girl called ‘Johanna’. I quilled a flower for her that best described her personality (I think) and the letters spelling out her name were made as ‘near-precise’ as I could. She is a very meticulous person so everything had to be right. When she saw this card, she…
Read MoreMy latest project is simply called “Sweet”, the name of a girl who turned 18 this month. This piece was commissioned as a birthday present for her by her aunt and uncle. The brief was to make a scene capturing flowers in a riot of colour. There are eighteen main flowers in this work, some…
Read MoreThis little card is indeed based on the ‘little’. The biggest flower here is about a 50p-sized coin. The petals are quite a challenge to do if you do not have small enough fingers. Luckily I have nimbler fingers and can manage them, but I do warn anybody wishing to attempt quilling at this scale.…
Read MoreThis is my latest visual work. I quilled some flowers and then spattered some crayon colours on them. I quite like how it turned out. It’s a work in progress. I quite like the process of this approach because of its two contrasting ‘tendencies’: the control and bordering-on-obssessive approach of the quilling against the broad,…
Read MoreI quilled this impromptu work months ago. I just thought of making a fresh and vibrant card for a very special baby boy, who was born this year. This is his “welcome-to-the-world” card. Made it like a tableaux in the naive manner (I suppose), as no planning was needed for this one. It needed to…
Read MoreI quilled this Birthday Card for a friend who turns 35 tomorrow. She had her birthday party celebration yesterday, well in advance, so people can all come. It was full of laughs and gaffs, and we all had a blast. This card was a free style design, intended to evoke colours that a girl would…
