Hello everyone, welcome to the 'Life is Sweet' Blog Hop!
If you arrived here from Amna's blog, then you are on the right track! If you stumbled across this blog hop out of order, you can start from the beginning here with Sandy at Sweet Spot Cards. This is an international blog hop, with 14 quillers from every (inhabitable) continent participating and I feel so honored to be part of them! Do visit all the talented quillers on this hop so you can see all the wonderful projects they've created and win some lovely prizes along the way.
I'm a self taught quiller. I discovered quilling only 2 months ago and absolutely love it. For this hop I did something that I've wanted to try for very long : 3D quilling!
As all of you know, I love flowers (you seldom catch me without a flower clip in my hair!). So when Sandy told us we could quill anything for this blog hop, it was a no brainer. FLOWERS! But it had to be more than the basic quilled flowers - hence these miniature quilled flowerpots. (I got the idea from another excellent quiller, Inna).
They're tinier than you might think! The dark red tulip is about 2.4 inches tall and the yellow flower is about 2.1 inches.
I am also having a giveaway!
One lucky reader will win a surprise handmade gift from me! (I haven't had the time to make it yet *blush* but it will definitely be created with lots of love!)
To stand a chance of winning, just leave me a comment below this post (don't forget to include your email!) and I will draw a winner on February 11th 2011. (I decided to make the candy last a bit longer).
Next up is Jacqueline from Africa!

If this is what you can do after only 2 months then I can't imagine the things you'll make as time goes on! You did a fabulous job, Yuenie. Thank you for sharing and participating.
ReplyDeleteHello Yuen =)
ReplyDeleteThose cute little flowers are absolutely adorable...
Especially the yellow/green flower. Its very pretty indeed.
With it being so small, I can only imagine how cute it would be if I saw it for real.

Yuenie,
ReplyDeleteOnly quilling two months? Great! You have inspired me, I have been doing some quilling for just a short time myself, but have been intimidated by all the awesome quillers, I belong to several groups, but have only been lurking, and admiring.
Guess it is time to step up share what I can do, and get some helpful suggestions.
Thank you Yuenie, I like your flowers and love 3D myself.
