I used to collect crows and ravens. And, for many years my family would buy me knickknacks and gifts that were crow- or raven-themed. I still love these creatures, but have tempered my interest in them with my love of a clean, clutter-free, knickknack free…

Oh, the good old days. When I could just be creative without feeling the need to meet certain standards. Everything was new and exciting in the world of quilling and I just wanted to make, make, make! During December of 2014, I really tried taking…

I made this Fancy Red & Black Monogram | Letter H for my mother as a Christmas gift in 2014. I think it was probably the first monogram I made that came out looking truly polished. What I loved most about this was the sheen…

I created this Black & Purple Gothic Flower Abstract way back in 2014. I am pretty sure that I found something similar on the internet and made my own version of it. At the time I was pretty impressed with the whole wrapping technique! Techniques…

This Quilled Black Vines Monogram | Letter T was a second installment of the same monogram, but in Letter J. If I recall correctly, I made this one for my grandmother for Christmas in 2014. It was based on the J but with the addition…
