Hi guys! I have really been a terrible blogger this month! It's the 22nd, and I've only posted twice. (It's no wonder I have no readers!) This is the thing - it's hot! Daaaaaaamn hot! (What move...anyone?) Our A/C is out - thought it was gonna be fixed - no such luck. So, everything is just...difficult when you're hot. But i've been quilling. And planning! I have over 300 Pinterest followers, which, I know that Pinterest following isn't an "active" process. However, it does let me know that I pin good stuff. And everything i pin, with one or two exceptions of what NOT to do technique-wise, is a future piece. Someday. Anyway - here is my Surfer Girl, and once again - while it's really beautiful in person, there are things that I have learned about doing this kind of silhouette. The outline of the board kind of irritates me in this picture. It looks like the board has jagged edges - which it doesn't. It is nice and smooth and curved. But since my gold and ivory pieces don't touch the edge continuously, it looks funny. I like it much better in person. And then I found that the navy blue was difficult to work with. It was thicker, I believe. I think it has to do with being more pigmented than the others. Anyway - I am awaiting the arrival of my NEW 1/4 inch paper from the lovely Erin Curet whose Etsy store can be found here. She is awesome to work with, and I cannot WAIT to get my paper. Stay tuned, folks!
Happy Quilling, peeps!
