Fuschia Honey Shower Quilled Flower & Bird

I love fuchsia so I have tried to create them to look like the real thing in this quilled 3d flower/picture. I have used printer paper and used quilled petals for the flower. the stamens are created from strips as well.

I drew the bird myself and I have tried out a blending technique in order to get the different shades of green and the spotty effect on the chest. For the tail, I have done a grass fold ( check tutorials) and used two shades of green combines.

If you want a tutorial on how to make the bell shape and the flower skirt, leave a comment and I will do one.

Quilled Waterfall Landscape Picture Art

So here is the quilled landscape picture I started when I wrote the tutorial on Quilling a Landscape. I think it came out pretty well. I wanted to get the waterfall to show the flow of the water element, so I made long, grass basic shapes but stuck it on both sides and encircled it for stability.

This time for the grass I slightly varied the shape. Check the tutorial page for the waterfall's basic shape and the grass's shape. I used my regular grass basic for the interior grass but for the edges, I varied the shape slightly as shown on the tutorial page.

I have elevated the foreground elements using pegs ( tight coils). Flowers are quilled 3d siince I like 3d flowers.

Check out my tutorial for basic shapes  used and how to make them .
