How I started...
Počela sam sasvim slučajno. Tražila sam putem slika predložak kućice od papira i nabasala na prekrasna djela u quillingu. I duuugo pretraživala samo o tome tog dana. Na kućicu se nisam nikad vratila
Toliko su me zaokupili radovi koje sam vidjela da sam jednostavno morala pokušati.
Što sam imala? Samo A4 print papir u boji (kupljen starijoj kćeri za školu). Alat nikakav. Srećom pročitala sam u onom mnoštvu stranica kako se pojedini snalaze. (Inače postoji originalni alat i već izrezane trakice papira u hobby dućanima po svijetu. Kod nas nema.) Dakle, snađi se. Igla sa velikom ušicom, odsjeći malo gornjeg dijela da se dobiju rašlje, učvrstiti u olovku ili drveni štapić. Angažiram supruga oko tog posla i evo ga... alat.

E sad treba narezati trakice...
Ravnalo, skalpel i krenem. Puno režem, boli ruka. Onako usput napomenem da za Božić hoću pravi rezač. Narezala sam dosta traka svih boja (jedino mi nedostaju smeđe nijanse. Našla sam samo tamno smeđu ) Puno je trakica. Sve su na jednoj hrpi.
Počinjem sa osnovnim oblicima, slažem ih i kombiniram i sasvim sam zadovoljna kako mi ide. Iskušavam razne vrste cvjetova (sve prema uputama pokupljenim na raznim blogovima). Odlučila sam napraviti darove za Božić za obitelj i prijatelje. Vremena je bilo dovoljno (početak studenog). Tako su nastale torte i kriške na tanjurićima, čestitke... I dalje sam posjećivala quilling stranice tražeći ideje.
Srećom postoje ti prekrasni ljudi diljem svijeta koji nesebično dijele svoja iskustva! Većina ih je uvrštena pod moje favorite. Hvala im još jednom!
Tako sam na Mannayah ugledala minijaturne lutke! Neopisivo! Hvala Amna!
Naravno da sam morala sama isprobati. Nedugo nakon toga nastale su moje minijature. Mislim da za početnika uopće nisu loše!
Da ne zaboravim, nekoliko dana nakon napomene, suprug mi je donio rezač (puno prije Božića!) Hvala dragi
Radim uporno i dalje. Gotovo svo slobodno vrijeme. Ispunjava me i opušta. Počela sam i kontakte sa drugim blogovima (hvala kćeri na engleskim prijevodima )
U međuvremenu sam organizirala svoje trakice. Složila sam ih u registrator u folije.

Sasvim solidno rješenje, mislim.
Trenutno radim pripreme za Uskrs. Voljela bih u buduće napraviti neku sliku. Nešto jednostavno za početak.
Sasvim sam "zagrizla" u ovo kovrčanje papira!
Vidimo se uskoro!
I've started accidentally. I was trying to find a paper house template and I bumped into beautiful works of quilling. After that, I totaly forgot about the paper house
I was so preoccupied with creations I've seen that I just had to try on my own.
What did I have? Only A4 color print paper (bought for my eldest doughter's school work). Tools - none. Luckily, I've read about that and managed to create my own tools. Needle with a large needle's eye, I cut the top and glued the needle into a wooden stick.

Now I needed strips.
Ruler, scalpel and lets get to work. A lot of cutting, a lot of pain in my arms. Through the work I mentioned to my family that I want a real paper cutter for Christmas. I've cutted a lot of strips in different colors (I'm missing some brown shades, only have dark brown ) They are all in one pile.
I've started with basic shapes, then I tryed to sort and combined them and I'm pleased how it looks. I've tryed all kinds of flowers (all by the instructions from various blogs). After that, I've decided to make Christmas presents for friends and family. There was enough time (beginning of November). I created cakes and slices on plates, Christmas cards... I still visited quilling sites looking for ideas.
Luckily, there are so many beautiful people all around the world who unselfishly share their own experiences. Most of them are in my favorite links.
I've discovered mini dolls on Mannayah site. Thank you Amna!
I had to try it on my own. Not long after that, I had my mini dools and they were not bad at all
After I mentioned I needed a paper cutter, I got one from my husband (long before Christmas). Thank you honey
I'm still very persistent, that's how I spend my free time. It's relaxing. I've also started to contact other blogers (thanks to my daughter for english translation )
In the meantime, I've organized my strips, put them all in paper files.

Solid solution, I think.
Right now I'm preparing for Easter. In a future, I would like to create a picture, maybe something simple for beginning.
Now I'm totaly into this 'curlying' paper
See you soon!
