Quilling for a crazy bird!

My college room mate had her birthday recently. She’s a totally crazy person. She’s not the party-all-nigh or adventure-sports type crazy. She is the one with the wildest and most unrelated comebacks to anything you say and the one introducing craziness in daily conversations. It’s sometimes appreciated and sometimes she gets whacked for it but she never lets that deter her. She’s THAT kind of crazy 😉

So she got a crazy bird card on her birthday! It’s been a few years since college and she hasn’t changed much in the crazy scale, here’s hoping things stay the same.

Rock on, you crazy bird!

Saying it with Flowers

I have mentioned before that I stayed away from quilling the usual hearts and flowers when I was starting out.

But then I was asked to make a card for someone in office who was shifting to another location. For such an occasion, quirky just wouldn’t do so I got back to the basics. I had bought some two-toned quilling strips (orange and yellow) a while back and I figured that they could be put to good use in making flowers.

This is what the card looked like. I guess it turned out okay! Looking forward to quilling some more ‘traditional’ items now!

Making it a happy goodbye 🙂

Quilling Inside Jokes

I had a friend visiting and I had started this blog recently, so I wanted to quill something for her on her visit. I quilled something that would get a smile on her face. I quilled… traffic lights! Stop, Look, Go. Red, Orange, Green…

Wonder why a traffic signal would bring a smile to someone’s face – there’s an ‘inside-joke’ about this. Since blogging is a public medium, sharing inside-joke’s here is not how it works so let me make an alternative story for this ‘signal’ 🙂

Let’s assume that she got her driver’s license recently and I wanted her to be safe. This makes it an appropriate ‘card’  for that achievement 😉

This is a signal 🙂

Anyway, here is something else I quilled for her birthday. The real occasion, no inside jokes here! This has been mentioned in the blog before. Here is the photo.

The self-improvement goal for me is to use glue more carefully so it doesn’t so as much on the final product 🙂
