This past week I were busy making a paper quilling cross for my mother "Rina". That's why the name "Rina's cross".
This were fun to make and also a bit time consuming since I do not have a patern and had to make the patern as I go along.
"Rina's Cross" took about 10 hours to make. This includes the time it took me to draw the patern and to deside were to put what.
This cross consist of:
1290cm (508.7") of 6mm matalic quilling paper.
Is 28cm x 24cm
Consist of 6 different Scrolls and Shapes
172 pieces in total
The Scrolls and Shapes are:
52 heart Scrolls
32 "V" Scrolls
32 Closed Lose Circles
20 Marquise Shapes
16 Teardrop Shapes
20 "S" Scrolls
409 Glue points
12 Steps
and 9 Diamante crystals
