Quilling the Letter "K"

About a year ago, I cut a big letter K out of a used Pizza box. It came out good but I never got around to doing anything with it and eventually it broke and got tossed in the trash. When I took up quilling I decided this time I would buy a wooden letter so that it would be a solid work area and just an easy head start. Remember, I am new to all of this, so short cuts are welcome. J I got the letter through Walmart Online. It’s 1/8th of an inch thick and 9” high. Good sized. I started making shapes and gluing them together onto the K. It was really cool looking, but very time consuming. After 2 hours of making shapes and gluing them I found myself frustrated and knowing me like I do.. I didn’t think I would finish it. Yes… I am impatient. So this is how far I got….

So I looked at it….. I liked it and I thought it was pretty, but I also thought it was too busy and like I said… I didn’t think I would finish it at that point, so I scraped it all off and decided to start a new design that might be easier to work with.

So now I am working on this new design. I’ll fill in some of the blank areas when the basic design is nailed down…. Or not. It depends on how it looks.

So that’s my Quilling a K update. I’ll add more pictures as I go along! Jaided
