My second quilled typography project is now completed. Although Christmas is not too near, I have created this project keeping the red and white theme of "Merry Christmas".
Like the Eiffel tower project, this is also done on 8/10 inches canvas. The background is created with red and white artist grade acrylic colors from Camel and using a cracking medium which I had bought from Fevicryl Hobby Ideas store. Before the typography is done, the individual letters are cut out from paper and pasted on the canvas. After that outlining with 2 mm wide white text-strips and beehive with 3 mm wide red paper strips were completed.
Here are some snapshots while working on the canvas.
The patterns and shapes that are mostly seen in these assemblies:
(1) Malaysian petals
(2) Combed petals
(3) Composite flowers
(4) Leaves in sets of 3,5 or 7 in numbers
(5) Husking
(6) Multi color husking
(7) 2D and 3D tear drops
(8) Marquise
Embellishments that are used in these assemblies are:
(1) Half pearls
(2) Pollens
The assemblies are snapshots and finally they all became part of this project. The overall process of making the flowers involves the following steps:
(1) Choosing the background color and color of the strips used to create the shapes
(2) Plan a count of the total number of shapes
(3) Measure length and cut strips based on individual shape counts
(4) Create individual assemblies like the flowers and leaves (for flower assembly the Silicone Glue is used as shown in the snapshot below)
The individual flowers are assembled beforehand on small plastic sheets using a sealant (Anabond RTV 666, available in any craft or hardware stores). After 6-8 hours when the glue is complete dried it can be cut out from the plastic sheets and this is how the flowers look like as shown in the picture below which can be further decorated with leaves and swirls using the same glue.
This is an edited form of the picture by me with a Christmas Theme :)
The assembly can be customized in different ways and can be used to create different projects.

I have used a lot of Malaysian flowers in most of this assemblies. One reason for which is that it is one of my favorite patterns. For a quick tutorial on how to make a Malaysian flower petal shape please watch out this video.
Thank you for watching the video. Please watch out for more at my channel
