Stawberry brings to you this amazing form of art, which is stunningly simple and yet fascinating. 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. All you require is strips of colourful paper, a quill and glue. The paper is wound around a quill to create a basic coil shape. The paper is then glued at the tip and the coil shaped, these shaped coils are arranged to form flowers, leaves, and various ornamental patterns similar to ironwork.
The basic quilling shapes are tight coil, loose coil, tear drop, marquis, heart and various scrolls. An artists imagination can manipulate these basic shapes and create wonderful pieces of art. The best thing is that its totally inexpensive in terms of money, material and ofcourse, time! So happy quilling!!
