Garden-themed paper quilling art

It was the first week of January 2014, when my host mother celebrated her 41st birthday. As it was after Christmas, and once again I didn't have that much of money left to buy gift (lol), I thought about making something for her. And since I began to b e fond of paper quilling art, I thought of making something with a theme she likes. And the decision was to make garden-themed paper quilling art. 7

I noticed she likes gardening. The house I live in has a quite big garden and in a good care. We have different types of fruits (e.g. apples, raspberries, blackberries, pears, cherries, strawberries), herbs, and flowers (pff many of them, I can not even mention one by one hehe). So I figured to think of garden-related paper quilling art. This is what I made for her...

Thanks for reading :)

Japanese girl paper quilling

So as you may have seen my previous post about how I first got introduced to paper quilling, I then made more and more creations. Well, not that much, only when I am in the mood or when I feel strongly to do. But then came the time when it was almost Christmas. And I didn't have that much of money left to buy a gift for a good friend of mine. She is from Mexico and at that moment we had been friends for almost a year, so I thought of making something for her. And this is what I made...

Well.. maybe you could not really see the eyes hehehehehe.. I made it too small. But well, I am still a beginner :P. I didn't have brown color so I used colored pen to replace brown-colored paper. It turned out I didn't have to spend more time in making more of those rolled paper hehe. So good for me as well.
