I'm not sure yet how I will add this to a calligraphed piece but I feel comfortable with how this first attempt at a fringed flower turned out. As info, I didn't use any official quilling paper for the petals. I bought a pack of colored paper in primary colors from Walmart and cut some strips to 3/8s of an inch. It worked out well I think and is a perfect, inexpensive way to practice. I can use what's left for other projects so that's a win-win IMO.
I'll cut some strips for shamrocks tomorrow just so I have enough for the time being. A crappy economy forces you to think differently about things at times. Besides, what did quillers do prior to the mass manufacture of quilling papers? Kickin' it old school...that's me!
