Framed Fringed Flowers

After a long break, too long for me and hope for you too, here I am with my first framed work using fringed flowers. Remember the black and white with a little bit of turquoise? Well, that was my second work of this kind, you can see it here.

I prepared these flowers for another work, and moving them from a place to another this work turned out. I was thrilled!

Now... why I was gone for such a long period of time? I had problems with my internet network and couldn`t reach the internet these days. I miss my desk, surfing on the internet, blogging. But hope it will fix soon. Now I`m with my laptop, connected for the first time to the foodcourt wireless network from a Mall. I confess: don`t like it at all.

Wishing you a sunny week,
Anca

The 3 F

Scrapper In Romania has a new challenge. There are almost 3 days and the submission is closed. So, here is the work I`ve created. It`s a new concept, framed fringed flowers (now I see the FFF!).

M-am inscris pana la urma si eu la provovarea Scrapper In Romania. Au niste premii tare tentante fetele si in plus mai e si nostalgia acetsui concurs, prima provocare la care am participat, am castigat si voucherul prin random org, a fost o nebunie de bucurie!

For this challenge the girls have chosen black and white with a little bit of turquoise. Oh... these colors are difficult!

Mi s-a parut destul de greu sa lucrez cu alb negru si un strop de turcoaz...
Ideea cu florile acestea inramate mi-a venit in timp ce lucram la un alt proiect si apoi a iesit si varianta aceasta.

I imagine this framed work on a narrow wall, from a minimalist apartment. I almost forgot to tell that the frame is from Ikea.

Wish me luck, I`d love to win one of the prizes from this challenge!

Multumesc fetelor ca se ocupa de Scrapper In Romania si ca ne dau ocazia sa interactionam si sa ne intrecem :)

Quilling sunflower

I`ll be short this time. Friday was my birthday (I`m 29 now). We arrived home this evening and I decided to post something.

Last week I made some cards with sunflowers and I also tried this framed quilling work. I like the way it looks.

Later I`ve used a fringed center and I think it looks even more beautiful.

What do you think? Please click on the pictures if you want them to appear more clear.

Framed quilling for Meda

I just love this combination of gold and full purple. Meda gave me the paper and I made this framed quilling work. While making the photos and admiring it I thought it would be a perfect gift for her and I also imagined the title for this post.

I used the clear versamarkt pad for stamping, and the husking technique combined with little from the royal flower.

Now I want to share with you my thoughts and feelings about friendship. Friendship is so beautiful, it seems to me like a gift that comes from nowhere. All I can say is Thank You (thank you to friends, to God, thank you for the idea of friendship).

Have a great weekend,
Anca

Pay it forward

Do you remember my cherry blossom card (here it is) and the contest I won? Well a few weeks ago Oana sent the gifts. I wanted to make something for her, as a pay it forward game (by the way, I love that movie!). So here is my work for her.

I decided to make something that looks like the card so I made an entire cherry blossom tree. I also have one for me and I intention to make 3 more ”quilling paintings” for the rest of the seasons.

The flowers are made of 2 mm paper strips and are painted with pink acrylic.

Yesterday Oana received the gift, she wrote so beautiful words about me and the joy she felt.

Now, I know that Oana loves the painting, I wish you like it too.
May you have a wonderful spring,
Anca
