Paper Quilling, Part 2: PIP

Thanks for all of your suggestions earlier about paper quilling. My friend and I decided to dive in and try it. It is tough, but fun!  

We decided to make 5 of them to celebrate our small group's 5th anniversary as a group.  There are 5 couples in the group.  The traditional gift for a 5 year anniversary is paper, so we thought it would be appropriate to give everyone a gift made of paper (and of a tree!)

Here it is and don't be too harsh on me!

The other 4 are very similar in design.  When is it okay to say enough is enough?

    Thats a tricky question! The project we did is not really difficult, more time consuming.  Some of the quilling art I have seen seems a lot more difficult.  We did this without a real tutorial or the quilling instrument (we used grilling skewers).  I am sure you could do something similar and do something great if you followed a tutorial.  It was fun, though!
