Start Quilling

Quilling or paper filigree is an art form that involves the use of strips of paper that are rolled, shaped, and glued together to create decorative designs. The paper is wound around a quill to create a basic coil shape. These shaped coils are arranged to form flowers, leaves, and various ornamental patterns similar to ironwork.

Quilling often imitated the original ironwork of the day.

Many quilled art works can be found on cabinets and stands, cribbage boards, ladies' purses, a wide range of both pictures and frames, work baskets, tea caddies, coats of arms and wine coasters. Storage boxes, larger than most jewelry boxes with drawers and/or tops that opened, quilled lock boxes, and much more. Some items were specially designed for quilling with recessed surfaces. Quilling was also combined or married with other techniques such as embroidery and painting.

The craft has gone through many transformations and changes through the ages using new techniques, styles and materials. Dimensional quilling creates 3D items.

to get started u need to gather:

and loads of quilling strips....colors... thickness... gradients......and get going..

Doodles are simple drawings that can have concrete representational meaning or may just be abstract shapes. Those unfocused strokes done to just get a thought on paper.. Here are a few which i have done over the past few months....


My pencil work continues...

Sometimes its a mere ballpoint pen..
