Nouvelle création en quilling

Fond aquarelle et paillettes dorées

Avec cette œuvre j'ai voulu représenter le passage vers une transformation, une danse pour renaître comme un phoenix

Hi everyone! I make handmade quilling jewellery, especially jhumka-style earrings. I’ve been trying to post my work on Instagram and YouTube, but I’m barely getting views on my quilling-related content and I haven’t been able to get any buyers either.

I’ve made quite a few different designs (photos attached), but I’m honestly confused about what I’m doing wrong.

My main questions are:

• Do my designs look sellable or do they need improvement?

• Is my photography/presentation the problem?

• What kind of quilling content actually works for getting views?

• Should I focus more on making-process videos rather than simply showing the finished earrings?

• How do small handmade jewellery accounts get their first few customers?

I’d really appreciate honest criticism/advice, even if something about the designs or presentation needs to change. I’m trying to actually sell these rather than just make them for myself. 😭

After lurking here for a bit, you all have inspired me to get back into it. A friends bday is today, so I made this rainbow Libra for her. Its been a decade or so since I last quilled. Got the pattern off of Etsy. It was cathartic to create again ✨️

Hi everyone!

I have been dabbling in paper quilling on and off for a few years now and this is the first piece I’ve made to sell.

The art show was called Plart (plants+art). There were multiple artists, all different mediums. Each artist chose a plant as inspiration.

I chose the Hoya Carnosa Krimson Queen. I absolutely love how it turned out and I even impressed myself! I’ve never considered myself an artist, more of a crafter but this has changed my mind.

Hope you like it. Thank you for letting me share it with this wonderful community.

Made this as a birthday gift for a hugggee One Piece fan!

Took about a day and half. Fun project! 😁

There was lots and lots of learning!
