Teddy Bear Multi-Strip Quilled Technique

You will need glue and paper the color of the bear and an alternative color. I also use a BBQ skewer to roll the paper around.

Cut 2 strips in brown or white (depending on color of bear) down the length of the paper
Cut 1 strip length in another color (for example: blue for boys or pink for girls) down the length of the paper
These pieces will be looped three times with the middle loop the longest

Glue the strips at one end

Form a loop but pull 2 of the strips down to make the loop open up and make layers. Glue the ends of the loop.

Create a second loop slightly larger than the next and make layers again. Glue the ends of the loop.

Make a final loop at the same size as the first loop. Glue the ends of the loop.

Wrap the remaining length all the way around the loop creating a large loop and glue it in place.

Cut the excess off. Take the colorful piece of extra and cut it half. Quill both small pieces for eyes. Pinch at one end to create a tear shape.

Cut 1 strip down the shorter width the color of the bear and cut in half for the ears.

Cut 1 strip down the length in bear color for the head.

Cut 2 strips down the shorter width the color of the bear for the feet.

Cut 2 strips down the sorter width the color of the bear for the arms- pinch when quill is glued to make it tear shaped.

Grand Close Ups

Grand: grandpeople, grandparents, grandaunt and granduncle. Here's a layout feature some of the grandest people in my life.

This is my Grandma Betty. She was full of life from being hungover in the bathroom, to boating and outdoors fun or simply making a face at her work she oozed life.

I am one weekend from launching my on-line embellishment shop. I will continue demonstrating the occassional how-to's, but I will also sell goodies for those less motivated. Here's a few of my favorite hand-mades: blinged butterfly and rolled flowers.

I also making iris folded tags. The shape was the left over after I cut out the above butterfly.

Here's a rose bush another of my favorite hand-made yummies.

This title was fun to make as I found the word "grand" and other "grand" related words in the dictionary.

Here's my son from baseball 2 years ago. Love the action shot and this close up. This is actual a scraplift so the layout is copy of This is actual a scraplift so the layout is copy of The more I practice...by Hanging By A Moment from sb.com.
