Quilling
Filigree Paper Work - Rolled Paper Work
Rolled, Scrolled, Crimped and Folded Paper
The art of quilling (also known as paper filigree) was born over 500 years ago when artists discovered that narrow strips of paper could be rolled, scrolled, fluted, and fringed, and then arranged to create beautiful designs. The original tool used to roll the strips of paper and vellum was the quill of a bird feather, giving this art its name.
I create handcrafted pieces of original quill art – no two items are exactly alike. Only high quality acid-free quilling papers are used.
“I have been asked many times how I have the patience to spend hours quilling. But ever since I was a little girl, my fingers have instinctively torn paper into strips and rolled them into coils and curls. It was when I discovered that these shapes could be combined to form pictures that the magic began.”
