I do not think that it would surprise anyone that I love birds. So I had to try my hand at quilling a bird. Making it a fanciful, abstract-y bird just further intrigued me.

I have a fascination with music - all music. When you walk in my house or ride in my car there is no telling what music you will be listening to. You could be treated to the soothing strands of some classical piece, the heart breaking keening of a folk music artist, the twang of country or the flair and energy of good ole rock and roll.

This card started with the blue textured paper and a tiny scrap of silk paper. I absolutely love both paper types and never want to waste a tiny piece of it.
I quilled the wheat stalks and they seemed to go perfect with the blue textured paper. The blue accentuates the tan quilling strips used in the wheat stalks.
This card is for sell in my etsy shop. Pop over and take a look.
Okay! I am catching up on my posting today. This is the second of at least three postings I know I want to make. This blog is like most things - I want to make sure it stays up to date, but it has a way of getting away from me! Truly I think it is
becuase I do not want to drag my camera out and take a pic of just one item - so I wait till I have several. But I will try to start posting on a daily basis, I promise.
Okay! Now to the piece of cake! A simple cake slice box, some simple twirls and twists of quilling and 
wow! a piece of cake that is non-fattening (only because you would not eat paper) but definitely tempting.
The cake slice template can be found here!
This is my best piece of quilling to date — in my opinion. Simple flowers adorn this very true saying “Friends are the flowers in the garden of life”.
While I was quilling this I was thinking of my best friend who is always there for me. She listens to me, calls when I do not get hold of her. And irregardless of what I tell her or how much I vent, she still loves me. She also trusts me enough to vent and share with me. How incredible! I went the majority of my life without a friend like her — and I know many people go their entires lives without someone to share with. I consider myself blessed knowing that no matter how far apart we are, she is always there for me.
I have found so much relaxation in this art form. Just to listen to some good music, quill a beautiful bunch of flowers — it takes me away.
