Distant Stitch Diploma, Module 6, Chapter 7 - Quilling

 

I selected a background that I had been a sample for PAP4. The fabric was wrapped tightly round a tube with string, painted and left to dry, resulting in some lovely creases.

I found quilling very relaxing and enjoyable. In 83, I have used raffia, ribbon yarn and woven cord.

In this sample, I cut up a rubber glove into strips and 'quilled' them. There are multiple joins, but they are well hidden! The background is pelmet vilene, marked with a soldering iron, with touches of colour added.

I went back to PAP4, where I have been experimenting with 'fish feet' and applied quilling to them.

I was very pleased with the result but  this is still work in progress.
