Tea Time! – Quilled Cherry Blossom Branch

July 26, 2012

Hello Everybody!

Today I want to share with you a beautiful quilled cherry blossom branch. This is not the final look, because it will eventually end up in a frame, behind a glass, but I couldn’t resist taking a few pictures to show off. I wanted to give it a Japanese /Asian feel, so I placed the branch in a pretty white porcelain tea pot and then I put the pot on a bamboo tray. I don’t know if it worked as planed, but here it is:

 This idea came to life (or should I say… began to bloom 🙂 ) earlier this spring, one day as I was being surrounded by trees in full bloom, dazed by their sweet perfume. I had a handful of pink petals from an older project of mine, so I made more of them and then I created the flowers. Unfortunately, after the not-so-good experience with the quilled forget-me-not flowers, I tried to find an easier way to assembly a 3D project.  So, I would like to take this opportunity to say thanks to my 0.34mm (yes… 0.34mm exactly!) wire and my trusty hot glue gun. Couldn’t have finished without you, guys! Haha!

 For the flowers, I used 160g/sm paper, hand cut into 1mm paper strips and for the fringed center 120g/sm paper. The tea pot is just 9 cm tall and the whole ensemble is 18cm tall.

 

Thank you for stopping by! Until next time, ‘Happy Quilling!’

Manuela

 P.S. I’m really happy to announce that my quilled Mice Family has won me the ‘Homopomrachitelno’ (dare I translate this as ‘hamsterific’…?) award in the Homyachok Challenge #7 – Animals! Thank you!!!

  • Adding the blue to the mix and trying to decide on the colour of the background. All the pieces are a bit in a disarray for now, but once everything is glued into place the neat shape will finally take form.🌿

  • A little bit of progress since the beginning of this week. 🌿 
I've noticed that arranging everything into place takes considerable more time than actually making all the flowers and leaves. Is this something other quillers also experience? 😮
I feel like I am assembling a jigsaw puzzle and every little element must fall exactly into the right spot. 😄 
With the next layer I am going to add some blue for contrast. I am already working on some teeny tiny forget me nots, my go to blue flowers.

  • The beginning of something new. 🌱 I know it doesn't look very exciting so far with just one lone white anemone, but I will add a pop of colour with the next layers. I have a bright palette in mind for this piece which includes some oranges and blues. Hopefully all will progress well! 👍
