Paperquill Fail

[tripperfunster]

Hee! I tried my hand at paper quilling and …. well, it's not a loss if I learned something, right? I am AMAZED at how frickin' time consuming it was! Took FOREVA! And sadly, looks cool and creepy, but nothing like I had planned.


It's supposed to be Robert Downey Jr, but it looks more like Chuck from Supernatural.

Things I learned:
I need paper that is more diversely coloured. The black and brown are too close to make it look good.
Red paper as a background = not good.
Moar practice. Lots moar.

Boy he looks creepy. LOL. I think the teeth that make it creepy. (Maybe you should send a picture of it to RDJ's page. He seems to love fanart.)

I got one of those 'activity-a-day' calendars way back. The one I picked was paper quilling. Each 'page' was only a few inches, but the time it took to quill, I don't see how one was supposed to do a page a day! I ended up falling behind. Seriously, it should have been quill a page a week or something.

Oh God, it is SO time consuming! it's like doodling in super slow motion!

I would NEVER send this to a celebrity. It almost looks like a threat! :D
