A special little girl.

What are you most proud of?

How it came together, just as I imagined.

Tackle it one letter at a time. Start with largest open areas and fill with the largest flowers first. Then fill in smaller spaces with smaller flowers and leaves as you go.

Although I don't have a tutorial showing how I quilled the letters, I do show how to make the flowers here:

This is so delicate and airy. It is the perfect touch to a young girl or women's room. The color combinations are endless and can even be made for the seasons- absolutely brilliant!

Thanks wolftracks2! Quilling is an art form that dates back to Egyptian times. Today it's a very inexpensive paper craft to get into.

This is absolutely beautiful! I'm not very familiar with quilling but from the look of this I think I need to change that! Well done!

Thanks Ariadnes Closet! It's not expensive to try this paper craft. Just Google some images of quilling and you'll see how fun it is.
