Hey Everybody!
Quick post with a quilled poppy! What was initially supposed to be an entire poppy field became a single flower. This is one of those projects that I couldn’t manage to finish as planned no matter how hard I tried. Ah, well, I hope you like it anyway! 🙂
 I actually pondered whether to post a single quilled poppy, but I really like the way it turned out so why not share it? I used 80gsm red paper for the petals and 120gsm for the stamen.
The stem is a wire wrapped in crepe paper. The diameter of the flower is aprox. 9 cm, so it’s pretty big! Here is a side view:
 And a picture with the quilled poppy wrapped around my wrist so it will give you an idea on how big it is:
 Did you know that poppies also come in blue color? And what a gorgeous shade of blue it is! I think I just found my inspiration for my next project!
 I am still trying to come up with a design for my new watermark. This time I added a horizontal divider between the blog name and the URL. Do let me know what you think about it!
Thank you for your visit!
Happy Quilling!

super 🙂 Could you please post the steps to make these poppies :(?
Thank you, Tamizh! Next time I’ll make a poppy I will take step-by-step pictures.
Stay tuned! 🙂
aww…another beauty.
Thank you, Natasha! 🙂
Wow ! The poppy is very beautiful ! I was wondering how did you make the center…Yes the blue one looks very nice.
About the water mark,I would suggest remove the swirl behind name and address keep it on sides so the text can be read clearly.
Thank you for the feedback, Pooja! That was my concern with the watermark, whether the swirls are too much and the text is not clearly visible.
The center is a fringed flower (the black part) with a round shaped cone stuck in the middle (green part). Hope it helps!
wonderful creation as always Manu…
Thank you so much, dear Lekha!
Gorgeous and pretty Poppy Manu .
Thank you very much, Angelin!
Love this poppy, Manuk! And admire your work in general!
Thank you so much, Sheila! Your comment means a lot to me!
I love your red Poppy. Blue one is the Himalayan Blue Poppy. I have tried and failed several times to grow them from seed. They are beautiful and I can’t wait to see your quilled version.
Thank you very much, Jo-Ann!
I did a little bit of reading while I was searching for pictures with the blue poppy and here is what I found on Wikipedia: “Himalayan varieties have the reputation for being difficult to grow from seed, but when germinating new plants, using fresh seeds will help”. There are other blue poppies besides the Himalayan, maybe you’ll have more luck with them 🙂 Hope it helps!
wow…gorgeous….love this so much
Thank you very much, Susan!
Wow….congrats on being featured in Ann Martin blog!!!!!
Thank you so much, dear Sathya!
GORGEOUS!!! The only word for your red poppy…a blue one should be equally beautiful…sigh!
Paper Hugs,
Jan
P.S. The line is okay as it does not obstruct the name. I suggest removing the second swirl that cuts thru the main name…makes it difficult to read the name…maybe expand on the first swirl that only touches the name. Maybe a small quilled flower at the top or bottom of the swirl…the red poppy would be an eye catcher – LOL!!! Whatever you decide will be wonderful!
Thank you so much for your lovely comment, Jan!
I appreciate your feedback on the watermark! You are perfectly right, I should really add a flower there!
Happy Quilling!
