A New Studio for Me on Artfire

Greetings.
I am working on a new studio in Artfire, named Heron Pond. It will feature gently used craft books, nature books, craft magazines, and craft pamphlets. Many of them are from the 1970's, as I am cleaning out my closets. I will be adding craft supplies and odds and ends from my real studio. If you check back in a couple of weeks, the studio should be packed full of things.

Here are a few more spring birds in my tiny pieces.








Here is the link for the "Little Ones" page on my website.
Enjoy the Spring Days ahead.

Quilled Custom Orders

This week I shipped out two custom orders that I thought you all might like to see.

The first is a baby shower announcement.




The second is a wedding invitation that had a purple flower handmade paper envelope that wrapped around the invitation. Love the purple.



There are over 200 samples on my website if you wish to see more.

Be back soon.

Take Time to Enjoy the Little Things.
Happy Easter.

OOPS. I forgot me................

http://www.zibbet.com/QuillingbySandraWhite

"Quilling My Way is the Quilling carefully placed under my own cut out to create wonderful Wildlife and Wildflower Art since 1975. Custom Wedding Invitation keepsakes for the Bride and Groom and Custom Birth Announcement keepsakes for the parents are also my specialty. If you don't see whatever wildlife you are interested in, let me know. I love custom work. And maybe your idea is what everyone else is looking for, too. Loons, Herons and Sunflowers are my favorites, but I really just love nature.
I want to create pieces that will make you stop and rest awhile,
pieces that you will really want to be a Part of Your Life."

Geometric Quilling

This is a new design motif for me, and it certainly is a challenge. But we all like challenges as it keeps us growing.
This is fashioned after a quilting design. I took three rectangles and three triangles and moved them all around until I liked the design. Then cut out the openings and quilled each opening with a different color and a different shape quilling.






Enjoy.

Take Time to Enjoy the Little Things.
