ICQG Challenge no 51 #ICQG51

Image
Hi, All This is my third post of book covers, I enjoy quilling a lot, even though I am unable to spend more time to pursue it, but I try to grab every opportunity to create something new and interesting. This is my first attempt on Quilling Monograms, I am happy with the results. I have used the colours gold, white, black and grey for the letter. the outline is done with Black paper which I have cut using a shredder. the white beehive is also white paper cut using a shredder. the gold and grey strips are precut ones. To create monogram quilling a lot of patience is required.as it involves many techniques and at times you have to place different designs to check which looks the best and then stick the final design.
