Desk Decors

Hellooo

Few days back, I was trying to clean my craft cupboard and I found so much of quilling strips scrap.

Right at that moment, stopped my cleaning and started making one butterfly using small pieces of pink n white strips.

I saw few more pink n white strips so made another butterfly to make a pair.

I didn’t feel like stopping there, found few brown strips as well. So made two cups.

I was sure that I will lose them while cleaning (in progress) so stuck them onto the handmade paper.

Now I have them stuck at my desk in Office. So I named them Desk Decors J

By the way I did finish my cupboard cleaning post all that intermittent crafting :P

Happy Crafting!!

Old Memories

Hellooo,

Two days back,I was searching for some notebook.While searching I found two old things.

One is an old photo frame which I bought in London.Second one is the photo album of my in laws.

I thought why not I change the look of the photoframe.But I didn’t want to do too much of work on it.
So here is what I have done.

One of my simple quilling.Very cute memory for my in-laws so just put two birds and two hearts ;)

Pink n Blue

Here is another PURPLERED creations

This is an order from one of my friend.

He wanted to gift his father on his birthday a personalized gift which has two family photos  decorated with framed quilling.

I took these pics before getting it framed with photos.

I used few blue crystals to form the petals. I wanted to use just two colours Pink and Blue.

I was asked not to include the photos.So here this is final product with complete design.

Happy Teacher's Day

Helloooo...

I rarely make cards unless until something inspires me to do one. This time a cute little 4yrs old girl, my friend's daughter Kiran has inspired me to make one CAS card. 

The letters are hand written and cut manually.I intentionally didn't want to put neatly written letters just to give a kiddish look. I used Yellow for flowers, Blue for the pot filled with water and Green for the grass.

 I will be gifting this card to her to present it to her favorite teacher on Teacher's day.Hope she likes it.

BE HAPPY

Helloooo.........

I know it has been 15days since I posted my new creations and reason is I am having loads n loads of work at office. But the best part is I am learning lots of things at my work place. 

Of course it did increase my craving for crafts as well J .

From a long time I have been thinking to try some quillography.This thinking started after I checked out Yulia’s work. Very very inspiring and amazing work done by her.You should check out Yulia Brodskaya’s work.

It was there is my bucket list to try quillography for quite sometime but I was missing the real push to start one.

That’s when Pritesh came up with her quillography challenge which was at the right time for me. Thanks Pritesh!!! It actually helped me to come up with something I really wanted to do. So here comes my work(sorry about my photography skills L)

There is a reason behind choosing the text as ‘BE HAPPY’.It is to remind myself to always ‘be happy’ with all the blessings that God is showering on me and my family.

‘BE HAPPY’ is now placed my bedroom J

Blue and white

This handmade frame was made when I had recently been to my mom's place few days ago. Actually one of the glass photo frames which were placed on the table fell down due to wind and broke L

My mom was very upset as it had a very good photograph placed in it.

I thought why not I make one.

So took an old carton box and made a photo frame from it.

The blue handmade paper has given more beauty to the photograph.

My mom was very happy as it is unbreakable J

Two Little Birds

Helloooo,

Recently when I opened my craft box, I found few left over spirals from my previous quilling project. Didn't feel like leaving those quilled spirals lifeless..Suddenly I got this idea to make a pink heart. Till date I never tried this type of heart in quilling.

Later thought why not I add few letters. So filled this heart with LOVE J

I still felt something is missing. Then I introduced these two cute little birds loving each other.

Finally I felt its complete with two little love birds with pink heart.

My cousin actually liked this card..He wants to gift it to his girlfriend but feeling shy to ask me. ;)

Mother's Day Gift

This is my first framed quilling.
I made this for my mom as a Mother's day gift!!

Recently I came to my mom's place to stay for a week just to take rest,eat n sleep.
I am just enjoying the peaceful stay with my mom.Felt like making something special for her.

After looking at Ann's post, made these birds.
This is the first time, I tried these birds i.e, with bit of detailed feathers.

I wanted to try some different type of pattern for flowers so tried this..
Each flower is made of three petals.. The centre piece is made with white tight rolls.
I think this is the smallest roll I can ever make.I used 3mm length strip to make the centre roll.
As I always say,it was fun making this framed quilling.

So here is the Mother bird and its baby bird..
My mother was very much excited looking at me quilling these birds!!
Thanks for dropping by!! Please do comment if you like my work!!!

Quilled cup!!

Recently I found new love towards 3D quilling. I was actually inspired by this post .So finally tried this quilled cup.
Initially I thought it might not take much time to do this cup , but  came into reality only after I  started this project :-). But it was fun making this cup.

This cup is made with 80% tear drops and 15%spirals and 5% tight circles.
There are lots of lessons learnt on assembling the quilled patterns while making this cup.

I used a glass tumbler as a mould to make this cup

Planning to make the plate and the spoon as well.

Simply Quilling

These days due to my ill health, I was not supposed to strain myself by doing crafts.

Its an order from my husband and MIL… L

Sitting idle at home during medical leave is so boring. My hands were not able to stay idle..

So somehow managed to do some simple quilling designs on two handmade photo frames.

I used to close my bed room door while quilling so that my MIL doesn't notice me.J

I found out one thing. Its more fun  when you hide and do something you love.

Here are  the two photo frames

My cousin wanted two photo frames to gift his (girl)friends ;)

Somehow managed to finish the frames to send them with my MIL to Trivandrum, the place where he stays.

Handmade photo frames..

This is something which I started recently… few months back.. I loved handmade products..

One day I saw handmade photo at my colleague’s and I wanted to make one deseperately.

Somehow managed to make one,two,three and many….

 My friend and neighbor wanted to make few frames to keep her son’s pics.. so she learnt and made few

 Now we both started a small business.Neighbors in our apartments come with their kids photos and we make the photo frames for them. We did keep a stall at our apartment’s carnival and sold few frames.. we named our creatins as PURPLERED creations.. soon you can find our website

We make customized photoframes with different colours,sizes,shapes and work.

Customers come with different requirements like colour of the frame should match with the wall colour, dress of the kid in the pic, bead work on photo

If you like any, want to gift special personalized gifts, please do order,I can customize the way you want and I am sure your loved ones will love them.. lot more models to be added soon
