Flowers

Some of my first few trials at making flowers.. let the pictures speak for themselves

A Makeover

One day in Borders Tropicana City Mall, I found this DIY golden box priced at RM6.90... an idea suddenly popped!...

The "before"- The golden box looking so plain

Here's the "after" with the added flowers

A cup of coffee to aide the sleepy eyes- a day before I was down with fever

I would say the quilling really helps to reduce stress but... too much of it can cause you to be down with other type of sickness! hehehe

Down with Fever

Maybe the excitement of daring to quill and starting a blog had caused my body to react in a certain way, giving me a signal to just slow down and take a rest.. it has been three days that I've had this temperature *sigh*

Another Makeover

Storage box  makeover (Part 1)
I have 3 orange storage boxes which I bought 3 years ago and they are still in good condition. Because they have helped me keep my room organiozed, I decided to give them  facial lifts - makeovers!

The first box.Just a simple flower, the idea popped up while watching TV.

The Beginning

A Beginner

I am a beginner in this quilling thingy. After observing the techniques on youtube, blogs like miyyah@kertas,lin handmade greeting cards, among others, I brave myself to give it a try and thus the name daretoquill :)). I don't know how long this passion will last as  I love trying new things. Last time, it was crochet, it was last year and I still have a basketful of yarns waiting to be turned into something. Oh! I guess they can wait...:))

Getting started

My tools

My tool box - 3R people! reuse,reduce, recycle!

What's inside the Chicken Rice Shop container? my tools ;)

Alya's attempt at quilling
As I was curling and twirling the paper strips, she also busied herself with the papers, these are her versions.

What's this? Well, it opens to interpretations!

Not bad for an eight-year-old?

Whatever I  do, she wants to imitate. Well, as the saying goes..." the apple does not fall far from the tree"!:))
