One of my most prominent pieces was a phoenix that I made in either late 2015 or early 2016. It depicted a phoenix rising out of flames and has been one of my most sought-after pieces ever. So it wasn’t surprising that this customer contacted me to make a paper quilled phoenix logo for a friend of their’s that owned a gym (maybe?).
The customer provided me with the logo and just requested that I fill it in decoratively. I found that the small spaces to work inside and the rigidity of the existing logo format were kind of challenging. I think that it squashed my creativity slightly. Part of me wishes I had redone it, and part of me thinks that the end result was likely exactly what she was looking for.
Techniques
This paper quilled phoenix logo was pretty simple to make. I created an SVG file to cut with my cricut of the base ouline. I filled in the wings with flames. I made a sort of webbing on the black wing with black paper and gilded paper. I used tight coils on the breast. Loops filled the outer orange arc. Loose coils filled the black outside arc. I placed a strip of white paper in two sections to create the illusion of a highlight.
I am currently taking commissions. If you have a project in mind, please feel free to contact me.
