I have used a photograph of the sky as a background. The Bluebird is quilled with folded 3mm strips to match the feathers. I quilled Little Robin Red Breast after practicing on this one which came out quite well for a first attempt. I have inserted a white strip to get the shine on the beak. My objective was to get it to look as lifelike as possible.
I have done the leaves slightly differently as I have crushed the strip to get a wrinkled effect. Here's a closer look at the elements.
Would love to know what you think.
Awesome and Gorgeous Quilling .

I am so happy that the internet brought me to your website which has opened up a vast array of information about my renewed interest in Quilling. The designs are thrilling, but your approach to this tedious craft is so very helpful to me. As I learn the outcome is less than perfect. However, you have encouraged me to forgive my stumbling around this craft simply by starting over. Quilling isn't just snow flakes...... Thanks...... I have a lot to learn.
