Quilled Father's Day Ideas
Recently I showed a cool cat card idea for Dad, and today I have another couple of manly projects up my sleeve. Yes, shirt sleeve literally, har... well, maybe not, considering this shirt is apparently sleeveless... just kidding, you're supposed to think it's neatly folded.
Just the tiniest amount of quilling is involved - initials on the pocket. The collar and pocket edging are mulberry paper and the inside message simply reads, "Thanks, Dad!"
And then there's a personalized photo frame... if you happen to know a father who rustles cattle for a living. Hmm, I realize that's quite a stretch. Maybe for the dad who loves to watch old westerns on tv?
The lasso is coiled mizuhiki which is very neat stuff, often seen beautifully knotted. It's used as a decoration on wrapped packages in Japan and is made from washi paper that is twisted, coated with starch, and polished.
The boot was inspired by a clip-art image. I used silver-edged quilling paper to add shine to the star and spur.
