Flowers of Israel, framed paper quilling art

Flowers of Israel, paper quilling


This is another of my big quilling projects, along with the quilled flowers on black velours background. The design is mine, from beginning to end. In this quilling picture I tried to reproduce a few species of Israeli flowers that bloom in February through April. Here they are, left to right:


  • yellow Lupin(e),

  • red Poppy,

  • white Iris,

  • purple Maltese Cross Ricotia (Egyptian honesty),

  • white Chamomile,

  • yellow Dandelion,

  • pink Cyclamen,

  • dark purple Cloven-Petalled Campion.



Besides the flowers, there's also a quilled Gonepteryx butterfly (also known as brimestone) and a ladybug. For this project I mostly used 1/16"-wide strips (1.5mm); but for the ladybug, foliage, and lupin flowers popular 1/8"-wide (3mm) strips were used. I cut-out the leaves of the chamomile using small scissors. Size of the finished artwork: 9x9 inches (23x23cm). Sorry, no close-up photos this time :(

I've mentioned one of the things that was topmost on  Craftsy 's agenda for me as an instructor, was to ensure my classes taught skills the students could then use in other projects. In Lesson 1, I show how to make a 3D Christmas Tree and wanted to show you how easy this technique is to apply in so many ways. Although my step-by-step instructions are not as interactive as watching the Craftsy lesson, you'll get a taste of it anyway. As with the tradition of Halloween trick-or-treating, I thought it would be a fun for you all to go to different houses to collect your treats and learn what else is in the land of paper ingenuity. House #1 - Round Pumpkin Jin Yong's house is  U...
