Quilling Lord Shiva Tapestry

Hello friends,

As you all know Lord Shiva is one of the principal deities of Hinduism. He is the Supreme Being within Shaivism, one of the major traditions within contemporary Hinduism. For details Click here .
I have made a portrait of Lord Shiva using Quilling.

You need to first take a print out of the Lord Shiva image ( your choice ). You need to fill the whole image with quilling with the matching colours. To complete the image I have used 3 mm quilling strips.

Shiva's crown:

   Make a loose coil using black colour quilling paper. Please make sure the coil fits correctly on the image. 

Hair locks:

  I have made the hair locks with the help of quilling comb. You can make hair locks of different length easily using the quilling comb. Click here to know more. This is also done using  black color quilling strips. 

Shiva's weapon - Trident:

Make this using gold colour quilling paper. You can also decorate the trishula using kundans,

Shiva's instrument - damaru:

Make a tight coil using white and brown colour quilling strips. Make small spokes using brown colour strips. Make sure to stick the strip on the length side so as to get embossed look and not flat as shown in the picture. 

 Shiva's serpent:

Make small tight coils using black and white quilling strips. Make many such coils to complete the body of the serpent. For the top part I have used dark maroon colour strips and placed them in a vertical position in a continous fashion. please refer to the picture. For the eyes make a marquise shape using a single black colour quilling strip. 

Draw the outline of the face and neck, Make the facial parts with appropriate colours. 

Here is the picture of the Shiva Portrait - work in progress...

Hand:

Draw the outline of the hand . Fill the space with the desired loose coils. I have used light pink colour quilling strip.

Ears:

Make a half circle shape using grey colour quilling strip for the ears.

Shiva linga:

Make a shiva linga using black colour quilling strip. For the down part make a loose marquise shape. For the upper make a dome shape and place it.  Please refer to the picture.

I made this beautiful portrait as a gift for my parents on their anniversary. 

Hope you all liked it,

Happy Quilling.
