Mini paper quilling flower arrangement

Recently, my grand parents stayed with us for some time. My grand father's hobby is to complete word search puzzle books. He has finished three books (yeah, you read it correctly..they are books)
To highlight the words that he has found in the puzzle, he use color markers/highlighters.
I've collected all the caps of these & put in my age old miniature quilling flowers in these..

 And here is what I've finally made from these.. Guess what the base is ?? A Ferraro-rocher chocolate box cover that we recently got in my office ;)

As this is so light weight, I was experimenting it by putting on a leaf  :)

Crepe paper hibiscus



In the house that we moved in recently, there are hibiscus trees all around the house & one in neighbour's house (most of it falls into our house, of course). And all these trees has huge number of flowers. Every time I see them, I wonder how do I quill them with strips.. I happen to visit a craft store which has huge collection of crepe paper and I bought few of them...Hibiscus petal texture matches with the crepe paper and hence I've given it a try..

I've made these life size & here are couple of these  amidst the actual hibiscus leaves :)


And these is back to its original place on my side table :)
