Kraft Korner - Pristine Sparkle Earrings 2 - Quilled Earrings

2. Quilled Earrings

Quilled white-silver earrings

I learnt a few new quilling techniques recently and I thought I'd put them to good use and get practice as well. The top portion is a jhumka made using white 4mm strip, painted in pearl-metallic silver acrylic paint. The middle portion is again a white strip fashioned thus using an old comb, painted similarly. The lowermost portion is white beads, as u can see. The quilled portions have been coated with clear nail polish to give it sturdiness (believe me, the piece becomes very strong after coating.. try it) and to make it water-proof.For those who do not prefer long danglers (like me), i guess just the two quilled parts would make a fabulous piece too.. what say?


The pic above was taken at night time with grey card stock BG in line with the challenge's colour theme.. Here's a better pic taken in better light:

  6. Another marvel EsVee... You say it's quilled but it doesn't look quilled at all... looks like little dangling chains. Simply fab. I am your new fan, but how does one follow your blog? Thanks so much for playing along ItsyBitsy's Pristine Sparkle Challenge. All the very best!
