The word on Every Inchie Monday this week is Egyptian. Looooove all that ancient stuff. I have one of the more recognisable symbols - Eye of Horus.
And a change of theme. Thanks to UnstampaBelles, I have finally seen a positive side of the redback spider. That disgusting, deadly creature, which you can view here, won me this prize as a result of the February challenge!

Coongratulations! Your quilling is truly amazing. I haven't dared try anything that ambitious. Your spider is terrifying. I'm currently quilling the characters from the Wizard of Oz, because I so love the movie and I wanted to do something other than flowers. I'm still trying to decide what to do with the faces that doesn't make them look like cartoon characters. The heads are only about 1/2 inch round. so making eyes, etc is nearly impossible because they would be so small. I may end up drawing them in. Any ideas?
ReplyDeleteYou and I must really think alike because I did the Eye of Horus as well! This isn't the first time we've done the same thing.
Characters from Wizard of Oz is pretty ambitious. Power to you and I can't wait to see your work. I wrote to you about various techniques and ideas. Yep, we sure do have similar ideas on a periodic basis. Thanks for your positive feedback!
DeleteCongratulations and well deserved wins your artwork is fantastic and the spider is awesome. Love the inchie idea as well. What a wonderful post.
ReplyDeleteLove Chrissie xx
Thank you so much, Chrissie! I'm pretty rapt, I must say.
DeleteEye of Horus will crop up quite a bit I suspect! That's some cool quilling you've been doing again Zoe so it's nice to see your efforts rewarded.

Thanks Sally! Eye of Horus is magic, so it has every right to be banal and overplayed.
Deletegurl!!! that picture should have taken 1st place! I love it. So much beautiful work. I am speechless! Also congrats on both wins! I love the inchie, I was gonna try to make The eye of Horus, but it just didnt look right in an inch. Love this!
ReplyDeleteAgree, should have been first place and thanks for confirming (I am sure all sorts of intrigues went on at the show). :) But seriously, thanks! What you made is stunning and different. There'll be plenty of Horuse's this week.
DeleteCongratulations! Your work is amazing! Love the eye of Horus for the inchie!
ReplyDeleteThank you heaps, Margriet!
DeleteI can't believe you didn't get first place. Maybe you've won with them before and they just want to give someone else a chance LOL! Amazing pieces! I thought I was so clever to come up with the Eye of Ra. Guess not HAHA!
ReplyDeleteAgree! Nope, never even participated there previously. Something fishy is going on :) Thank you heaps for your feedback!
DeleteCongratulations on your win. How long did the picture take you, it is gorgeous and looks very involved. Love your inchie, I started to do the Eye of Horus also. I have seen several videos on the redback on YouTube and it looks quite nasty. But see every dark cloud has a silver lining.
ReplyDeleteThank you muchly for your warm feedback! Around 2 months for the picture (you know, all weekends, most evenings).
DeleteWell done on your win, lovely art work. Love the inchie.
ReplyDeleteWow, amazing scrolling work and congratulations on both of your wins! Cool inchie! Love the touch of the gold glitter.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Heather! I love the description "scrolling work" - sounds so elegant.
DeleteCongratulations! Your image is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteLove your inchie too.
