This is my latest guitar. I chose aqua pearlized quilling strips for it, using black strips and silver paper for the finishing touches, then black, red and aqua paper for the added musical notes. I'm always reluctant to just let my pictures end so abruptly at the frame, so once again I used craft quality spray paint to add a little colour there too... blue on black.
Quilling art is the art of paper filigree where the artist makes designs using narrow strips of acid-free paper, which are rolled and then shaped. I learned quilling from my mother, who was a gifted quilling artist. I actually wasn't sure I'd have the patience to do this, but it's both relaxing and fun. I enjoy creating my own designs, but I also get a kick out of making up some of the kits available.
The Art of Paper Filigree
This blog is to celebrate the things I enjoy making. This includes quilling art, crafts, and cooking recipes and ideas, as well as some musings. I enjoy sharing ideas. By all means, if you want to borrow an art idea, go for it. But please, make it your own; don't just copy. If you've never heard of quilling art, I hope this introduces it as an art form and possible hobby. And I hope the pages to the right of the quilling blog posts offer up information, ideas and inspiration.
Enjoy your visit! If you have questions or comments, by all means share.
