This is a surprise post. I had it in mind for quite a while. And look what a great date to publish it: 11.11.11
Anca and I go a couple of years back when I spotted her in a local Plaza selling handmade cards. I generally have a very critique eye and I'm not easily impressed. However, when I saw Anca's quilling cards I not only admired her work but felt a sudden urge to interact so I said hi and the rest is history.
I now realize that the thing that drew me towards her was her sense of taking an idea or technique and making it her own. When I meet someone like this I am not afraid to open my heart and my studio and share what I know and what experiences I have accumulated as an artist.
This summer it was time to take it one step further. I was overwhelmed with work and being a fresh mother so I asked Anca to take over one of my design projects (a chandelier invitation). She did a great job. Here is just a snippet for now. I will show you the invitations in another post.
The chandelier invitations are more like me than her and you can see the various designs she created here. I was mentioning an alternative to my invitations though and I was referring to Anca's quilled invitations.
How about a quilled bouquet as an alternative to the classic bride's bouquet?
