This tree silhouette is a Quill-Along-Project that I made following Erin Perkins Curet's instructions and also putting my own
spin to it.
All the paper strips
are 6 mm wide and 21.25 cm (17 inches) long. However, each shape is only half a
strip long.
First I chose my
background by making a web-search. This is what I liked.
Trying to come up with something similar to the print, I painted my background with
acrylic paint on a 25 cm x 20 cm (10" x 8") canvas.
As I am not a good artist and
did not want to spoil my "work of art", I drew a tree on a white
piece of paper to see that I liked its shape and final appearance on the
background.
Once I decided that I liked
the tree, I cut it out.
I placed it on my background to find the proper setting.
I traced it onto my
background using a permanent marker.
I painted the tree black with
a permanent marker.
Carefully I outlined the tree
with a black strip of quilling paper. So that it would be sturdy enough I glued
3 strips together.
I filled the tree using loose
closed circles that I shaped as necessary to fill in all the spots. To fill the
tree I used 56 strips that were 42.5 cm (17") long and it took me 3
hours. Unfortunately I forgot to take pictures of this step.
Using the same method, I
continued filling the rest of the picture. This took me another 11 hours but I
did not count how many strips I used in all.
Finished! Work Completed!
I finally framed my piece and
you can see the final product at the beginning of this tutorial.
