I’ve imagined this dragonfly for a quite some time, but only now have I been able to make it happen. I first used the usual pre-cut quilling strips but struggled with the long flowing arcs. After I found thicker paper and cut my own, the paper was finally tamed. Although I struggled (with my hands and personality) to make both sides even and match, it’s a pleasing feeling to make something symmetrical. The thicker paper from Daiso was also heavier so my wings are not as high as usual, so I’ll be hunting for something in between the two. I love the way light catches and casts the strips from the opposite side.

Gorgeous! Gorgeous! Gorgeous! The swirls remind me of beautiful mendhi art. So delicate and intricate.

I posted this on another page but I saw one of your pictures in another blog about weddings. It was the cup with steam photo. Great work. The link to the article is there.

Last year I cut out red dragonfly s and outlined them in gold and put them on our Christmas tree. It was very pretty. Thank you!
