Quilling Contest

In the initial competition for the February title
Made with Love "Heart," my entry (#47) garnered a total of 147 likes.
I observed that the quilling contest frequently
appeared in my social media feed. Initially,
I overlooked it;
however, I eventually felt compelled to participate.
Entering this contest presented a valuable
opportunity
for me to acquire new skills and gain diverse
experiences. I solicited support from numerous
friends to like
my submissions, as the quantity of likes I received
would enhance my likelihood of success.
Upon the conclusion of the contest, I was pleasantly surprised by
the multitude of creative concepts
showcased, which inspired me to complete one of
my prior projects. I believe that the inspiration
derived
from this experience represents a significant
reward, surpassing the mere attainment of winning
the contest.
Title: Easter Flower Entry #15 (98 Likes)**

This marks my second contest entry, and I felt motivated to submit earlier this time, believing this would enhance my visibility and improve my chances of receiving more likes. Instead of relying on my Facebook friends for support, I opted for a more authentic approach, allowing the community to engage with my work naturally.

As I immersed myself in this creative endeavour, I experienced an inspiring spark for a third piece. I revisited two older paintings that I hadn’t been unsatisfied with and envisioned transforming them by incorporating quilled Easter eggs, a touch that would breathe new life into my earlier work.

After completing this new piece, I was driven to create a second one as well. I submitted both entries to the contest, and to my delight, the administrator decided to showcase both pieces. This experience has not only pushed my creative boundaries but also reaffirmed the power of genuine artistic expression.  could post both.

Hope And Renewal

 




Hope And Renewal


The pouring rain.

And the gloomy sky has awakened.  

This place evokes memories,  

Echoes of our beloved ones.


O God! How can I hold back?  

Tears begin to fall,  

As the grey sky seems to empathize,  

Mourning for our loved ones.


But tomorrow, the sun will shine,  

And the sky will open wide.  

The doors will be welcoming.  

A soul is like a star,  

Flickering with a small spark,  

Wishing to be reborn.  

From ashes, we will rise,  

Beautiful and radiant,  

With new bodies and new spirits.  

Just see you later—  

Never a "goodbye."
