Quilled Tree

I thought I would take a minute to show you the progression of my quilled tree. I loved making this project, and love it even more now it is complete!

I started out with just an outline.






I started gluing down the leaves first. I had to make sure I had the larger outer branches done first, before I moved onto the smaller leaves.


Once I finished with the larger branches, I started filling in the leaves from bottom to top.





I was using 2 shades of green to give it a little bit of dimension.


Here it is with all the leaves, and I added a small heart to give it a little pop of color.


Then I worked on the trunk. Again I started with a basic outline first. I also used 2 shades of brown.


Here it is all finished and framed! This really would be a great addition to anyone's living room.

I hope you enjoy seeing this piece being put together as much as I enjoyed putting it together! I can not wait to start my next project!
