I made three quilled cat portraits back in like 2016 or 2017 and I haven’t attempted one since. The style I used at the time was an artsy, scrolly, kind of whimsical one that incorporated scrollwork and coils and other quilled shapes. The end result…
I recently had a customer ask me to make a specialty item. I often entertain these requests because you just never know if they’re going to be a good idea or not. Sometimes I discover quickly that I’ll never attempt it again, and others, like…
