Quilled Number 10: Graphic Paper Quilling

By: on
Hello everyone! First of all, thank you so much for all your kind comments on my last post with the quilling flowers tutorial. I was really happy to read that you liked it, and your words gave me a lot of energy for new paper quilling projects. Today I have something new to show you, and some happy news too!

The news is that my Instagram account reached 10,000 followers, so I made a quilled number 10 to celebrate. It is my graphic quilling piece in soft pink, light blue and white. The numbers are built from white paper strips standing on their edge, and inside I filled the shapes with flowing waves, nested scrolls and many small coils. I wanted the design to feel light and playful, like a little paper wave. After my first quilled number 7, this was another step in my on-edge typography experiments, and I enjoyed every curl of it. When it was ready, I put it in a white box frame, and it looks so clean and bright on the wall.

Of course, it is not about the numbers. It is about people who love paper crafts and quilled art, and who take a moment to look at my work. Instagram became another place, besides this blog and Facebook, where I found new friends. If you use it too, come and say hello! You can find me as @art_life_quilling (follow me on Instagram). Besides finished quilled creations, I also show the “behind the scenes” of a quilling artist’s life there, with little moments from my everyday work. You are very welcome to leave a like, a comment, or press the follow button. I will be really happy to see you there.

Tips: Paper and Tools for Graphic Quilling

The best way to get the right strips for graphic on-edge quilling is to cut them yourself from paper of around 120-160 gsm, because the final project will be more durable. For this, you need a fine cutting knife that lets you achieve very neat edges. I have personally been using Excel Blades knives for many years, and I love them.

    Niesamowite. Podziwiam, podziwiam, podziwiam! Jak Ty to robisz? Mnie wygięcie paska tak jak ja chce to istny koszmar... Za nic nigdy nie chcą układać się w strony, w które pragnę. I mimo, że marzeniem jest stworzenie imienia taką techniką, obawiam się, że jeszcze sobie poczekam na jego ziszczenie.
    Prześliczna, cudowna i zachwycająca detalami. Jak zawsze.
