Day 3- #amonthinpaper This picture is my color palette in a nutshell. I have a tower of card stock, my precut 1/8” quilling strips, and a notebook of my own cut strips of varied sizes. I try to keep a good amount of choices because I never know what I’ll need for a new project. I also keep a tub of file folders and bags for scraps and loose remnants or strips. #colorpalette #quilling #quillingpaper #paperstorage #quillingstrips #paperaddict #madefrompaper #nevertoomuchpaper #papermade #papercrafting #paperlove #paperart #paperartistcollective #fortheloveofpaper #quillingfun #etsyartist #etsyfind #custometsy #amonthinpaper

Do you have a favorite tool? I don’t think I can choose just one favorite tool. I have an assortment and each work well for specific tasks. I work with varied widths of paper strips and have a tool for each one. I will say that for the longest time I used huge scissors and the smaller ones made all the difference in the world. Same with the fine tipped glue bottle. I used to use a different needle tool, but I broke a few before I went to this full metal one. #gamechangers #quilling #papertools #quillingtools #amonthinpaper #amonthinpaperday2 #quillingfun #cantpickjustone #madewithpaper #paperartistcollective

Another commission I worked on this Christmas season. Zoom in for details in the letter. I’m not sure if the camera picked up the vibrant shades of reds, but I used three different ones in the letter H. For the apples and basket, I colored them and used shading with my colored pencils. I hope the recipient loved it as much as I loved making it. Finished size is an 8” x 10”. #quillingfunonetsy #quilling #quilled #lettering #letterh #h #apple #apples #quilledapples #papertype #madefrompaper #paperquilling #paperquillingartist #paperart #paperartist #typographyart #monogrammedgifts #monogrameverything #etsysellersofinstagram #etsyfinds #etsyart #etsyartist #sundayvibes

My top nine in 2019…I am thankful, grateful, and blessed that I have been able to make so many wonderful pieces for so many people. As this year comes to a close, I want to thank each and every one of you again for placing your trust in me to create for you and your loved ones. My heart and soul goes into each paper strip and each curl and I love knowing that I can be a part of someone’s celebration of life… #bestnine2019 #bestnine #thankfulgratefulblessed #humbledheart #sundayvibes #sundaymorning #handmadewithlove #handmadegifts #quillingfunonetsy #quillingart #quilling #quilledcreations #lgenpaper#paperartist #etsysellersofinstagram #etsyfinds #etsylove #letterq #q #letters #lettering #nora #victoria #nameart #typography #handlettering #sewingmachine #nurselife

A work in progress…. I’ve been quiet with good reason. Hold tight your loved ones and don’t sweat the small stuff. Life’s too short. If you’ve lost a loved one, remember the good times and their smile. A wise person who’s been through this said it will get better- just in a different way and that’s okay. We can hold them in our hearts and still have room for more. God created us that way… #faith #timewillheal #appleofoureye #prayersforhealing #quilling #quillingfun #gonebutnotforgotten
