Sunehri - My Quilling Saheli

 Dear Friends ,

This is Sunehri , my Quilling Saheli . She celebrates not just the beauty of Quilling , but ten golden years of my artistic journey . 

I always had a wish to make a life size quilling doll . The idea came to my thought in August 2022. Initially I had a plan to make a Quilling Doll of approx my size , so started with a rough drawing of the doll. I browsed  a few gown and dress designs to finalize the colours and designs. 

I finally came up with a Top Skirt dress design 

I decided on the colours and ordered quite  a few quilling strips from Moksha Quilling Hub. The Quilling strips from Moksha Quilling Hub are of very fine quality and colours are vibrant . Before i could start this project I got involved in other quilling projects so I had to give a break. 

I decided to make the base of the doll using KG Cardboard .

• Let me brief about the upper section of the doll dress ( Top ) . 

• Lets see the Skirt Portion 

• Once the basic Structure of the doll dress is ready , we need to start doing Quilling . I have used 5 mm Quilling Strips of different colours for the same .

Tight coils , lose coils , comb flowers , tear drop , marquise and many more quilling shapes are used  for the doll dress.  

Some pics of the Quilling coils used :

Let me share some pics which I captured during the process 

The next progress  top Skirt of the doll will look like this :

I had to complete this doll in series . Since I had other commitments to focus on. The final dress was still incomplete. After few years I started working on it and completed it. One good news is this doll is a celebration of my 10 years in Quilling art. I wanted to complete the 4.2 Ft quilling doll on the occasion of my 10 years quilling art work. Finally I was able to do it. 

Felt very happy and satisfied. 

The face I have used is a fibre glass face . The hands are made using quilling . I have used 10 mm skin colour strips. 

woven in paper , dressed in sunshine , born from imagination. 

I hop you all liked my creation . 

A Decade in Quilling

 Dear Friends,

I am so thrilled and excited to share that I  have completed 10 beautiful years of Quilling art. 

Ten years filled with countless paper strips , endless ideas , happy moments , challenges , learning and the joy of creating something beautiful. 

A memorable journey filled with passion and creativity . Starting form my first little quilling project to my latest complicated creations , each art work carries a lot of  imagination and love.

I still remember my first Quilling project - Quilling box .I was so happy after completing  it . My passion increased more and  I got attracted towards quilling . 

Lot of ideas and thoughts popped up which i wished to do. 

                  I made an initial start with some  quilling earrings , flowers , wall hangings etc. I had to explore the different quilling strips , their dimensions , tools and much more . After doing some  2D projects , I then started to do a  3D doll. The first 3D project was Lord 

Ganesha Idol. 

Come , have a look at my beautiful journey of art .

 Each doll was a learning experience for me. a new challenge . 

I would like to special mention Moksha Quilling Hub for the beautiful Quilling Strips I used for my art works. Thank you Moksha 

And this journey is still unfolding - with many more colors , coils , creations and dreams yet to come.

Goddess Annapurneshwari ( Quilled - Fabric idol )

 Dear Friends,

Goddess Annapurneshwari

   I am so excited to share my latest art work . This Goddess Annapurneshwari idol is very close to my heart . The main reason is,  I made this beautiful idol along with my daughter . And this divine idol is a fusion of Quilling and Fabric. 

   This started with a ladle which my daughter had kept for a long time.  We just decided instantly why not make Goddess Annapurneshwari . First we thought to make it in quilling , later we planned to drape the saree in Fabric cloth. Tried  a new experiment in art form . The result was just mesmerizing .

• The face , head , hands , legs , body , crown and pot are made using Quilling art. For details Click here
• Magnificent hairs were made from black wool . 

• Fabric saree draping  using blue silk blouse piece with gold border stitched. Gold Buttas used for decoration. 

• Jewellery including jhumkas , nose ring , necklace , finger ring , maang tika , bangles and waist chain are beautifully crafted using kundans, ball chain , stone line , stones etc. 

And finally the facial features give  a divine look for the Goddess. 

Mata Annapurneshwari - A  celebration of Quilling and Fabric dolls . I hope you all like my creation.
