Quilling Horses



Yay for horses! I live out in horse country in Florida. I have always loved their beauty and strength, and knew it would be a perfect model for a quilled project.

I started with an outline. I didn't want a perfect replication. So I picked a pretty teal 12x12 paper and only used white strips. I just defines the face and added some wisps of mane.


The mouth was looking a little funny, so I redefined it and started marking where I would end the mane.


I wanted a nice full mane, and had to set the major lines of the hair.


I just had to add a little flower behind the ear, I really couldn't resist!


Here it is complete! She is going to look perfect in a nice white shadowbox!
