Day 12 of #amonthinpaper from the @paperartistcollective challenge. In context- I would have to say that the majority of my pieces come from requests for unique and more personal gifts. It actually started with basic things like favorite colors and their initial. Then people asked for even more personal details like favorite sports, activities, pets, and especially memories. These are just a few of some of those requests. Requests for a couple who were married on the beach, a couple who loved Texas, a child who loves playing the drums, a child’s nursery gift who’s parents were geologists, a couple who shared a memory of a beautiful trek (down to the color of backpacks they carried), and even a beloved pet. I put my heart and soul into my pieces and connect with my customers. That’s the context of my art and how it fits into the world and how it comes about…. if you scroll through my posts, you can see more. I get so much satisfaction from creating such personal art. #lovewhatido #passionforpaper #stateart #jenniferstacey #quillingfun #quillingfunonetsy #customart #customdecor #custommonograms #paperart #papercreations #artincontext #quilling #quilled #paperquilledart #texasart #memoriesforlife #memoriesinthemaking #memoryart #amonthinpaperday12 #typographyinspired #papertype

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
