Viola - Quilled Beauty

The Pink and Yellow Beauty

Wishing you all a Happy and Prosperous New Year 2013.  I had not blogged for quite a while ,as I was busy learning a lot of new art:  like crocheting, knitting , sewing. I had also quilled some more flowers and also sewn some more finger puppets. I hope to blog all my art work this year and  try my hand in new things.

Pansies and Viola are beautiful flowers to quill. This design is also from the book "A Guide to Quilling Flowers by Helen Walter". After sometime I had a chance to take this book to quill flowers again. Viola can be all in one colour, either pink or yellow or a combination, as in this quilled beauty.

The details - the tight yellow coil and the white crescent add more beauty
