Do you love me...

...do you Surfer Girl?


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!
