Quilling Beautiful Flowers - Hairy Leschenaultia

The Quilled Strips of Paper make this a 3- Dimentional Masterpiece.

Your Inmagination can Work Wonders
 with these flowers

My Trip to Chennai during summer made me visit the local craft store and they had a lot of Quilling paper on display and suddely I took a keen interest in Quilling as it required patience and the end result was delicate and beautiful. I made a few simple earrings with it. When I came to Camp Hill, PA I stumbled upon a array of books in the local "Fredrickson Library, Camp Hill,PA" . My Interest was kindles and thought why not make a wall art of quilled flowers.

This design is from the book "A Guide to Quilling Flowers by Helen Walter". This book has some wonderful designs which can be worked in an afternoon when the kids are sleeping and make a beautiful wall art/card. This flower is Hairy Leschenaultia  an Australian Native Flower and blooms in a myriad of colours from the palest to the deepest of blues, creamy whites, vivis scarlet, bright cromson, soft pinks, sunny yellows and blazing orange. Some are bicoloured. I choose this as it would accentuate the white walls with reds.
