Naarmamo 2012 day 2.
Aug. 2nd, 2012 04:23 pmMy First Quilling.

It's quite easy! Occasionally a quilled box or some such thing turns up on, um, Bargain Hunt, and I thought I might like to try it for Naarmamo, so today I snipped the end off the eye of a darning needle with pliers and stabbed it into the rubber end of a pencil to make a homemade quilling tool. Then I fed a load of black card into a shredder, and voila. A flower and a bee. I might get some coloured card later and try some quilling with that, though I quite like the monochrome effect as well.
