After visiting Custom Quilling’s blog post about quilling and scroll saw woodworking, I wanted to see if I could make some ornaments using wood cut outs. I ventured into Michaels craft store and found some that I thought might work.
I painted them all white and then started working on the dove. I wanted to fill it all in with white quilling and wanted it to look like feathers, so I used the comb method. For the tail, I used marquis shapes.


Once I filled in the open spaces, I then added a green piece to represent the olive branch.

I then added a coat of sealant to protect it and a sprinkling of iridescent glitter. Have you figured out I am addicted to glitter yet? (It’s appropriate that I work in a preschool where we use it a lot.)
Here is my finished dove.




This is so beautiful Jennifer…i love the concept of a wooden frame and quilling coming together…your dove is going to fly high..thanks for sharing 🙂

Thanks- haven’t done too much combing yet. I made a fairy and her wings were all combing. Let’s just say it was a definite challenge 😂

I am in awe of people who can quill. I have neither the dexterity nor the patience to make it work. This is really beautiful.
