Merry Christmas 2015


I make just one Christmas card each year. 

This one was made in 2015 for a couple who are dear friends. It was inspired by one of Neli Beneva's Christmas cards. I just love all the amazing cards she makes. Do check out her blog.

Theme for a Dream


(Borrowed the title from a Cliff Richard song that I love.) 

This was made in December 2016 for a dear friend. Wishing that the world had more people like her.

Autumn Harvest


This was made in October 2016 for a dear friend, without whose love, support, and encouragement, I would have given up quilling a long time ago!

This is one of my favourites!

A big thanks to Ayani Art for the tutorial on paper roses. 

Here's the link from Ayani Art

A Blue Card for Someone Sweet!


Made in March 2014.


I finally could lay my hands on some blue and yellow quilling paper and made the most of it.





I was inspired by one of the finest quillers around for the petals of blue flower. I have not seen anything as beautiful as can be found here. Do check out this link. I only hope that over time, my work too turns out to be as beautiful and as unique!

This is how the petals for a single flower should have been arranged. Unfortunately, I ran out of paper and could not lay my hands on more paper of the same shades

3 and a Half Year Journey into Quilling


It has been 3 and a half years since my foray into this beautiful journey of quilling. Having had no connect with anything related to art for all of my adult life, it has been a transformative experience. 


It all happened when i chanced upon the work of Yulia Brodskaya (check out http://www.artyulia.co.uk/). She is without doubt the best quilling artist out there. Within an hour, I cut up some paper strips, and using a thick plastic quilling tool from my son's set, I tried out this one.


I was very displeased with the result but then, it was my first attempt at quilling. I have become better at it but am nowhere as good as some of the some of the awe inspiring quilling artists I see on the web. I thank all of them for continuously inspiring me to try harder.


This one was made in October 2012





After that I tried another of Yulia's work




And then I felt I was ready to set out on my journey into the quilling world by doing my own work.
