Pink Artist Squares Finished!!
Yeah!!! I finished my squares for Monica (Girl Gone Thread Wild)...
This was quite a challenge for me since I work with paper to put something that is my craft onto fabric, but Monica was very encouraging and here are the fruits of my labor :-) I have a friend at work who is facing a difficult time right now and I am praying that everything works out well for her. Tina, these squares are for you!
I titled them Love and Hope. I realized early on that I could not glue the quilling to the fabric or it would certainly fall off, so I made them more like charms on a pendant and I hung them that way! I also coated them with a product called "paper glaze" to give it a glass-like appearance.
If I had started earlier, I probably would have re-done the glitter...
but such is life... I promise to do better next time.

Antonella, you poured your heart into these lil beauties, I happen to LOVE glitter so maybe you did that for ME. lol Love the denim also and of course the quilling is magnificent! I can't wait to see these in person... I will be sure to put it on our doll and wall art in a way so it won't crush the paper. Thanks for playing & going pink! Love & blessings to you for doing this for your friend... xo, Monica
