Each beautiful 6"x6" card is blank on the inside so that it can be used for any occasion. You won't just be giving a card, but a piece of art!
Quilling is the art of rolled, shaped, and glued paper that results in creating a unified, decorative design. The name quilling is thought to come from the origin of the art; birds’ feathers, or quills, were used to coil the strips of paper around.
For this line of cards each artist is assigned one design for the most efficient workflow. This way, she can get to know the design and create a consistency in her work and our final product. Each card begins with a preliminary drawing of what the card will be. Using a slotted needle tool, the artist ‘threads’ laser-cut strips of kishu paper (a high-quality, Japanese paper) through the tool and coil it around to create a tight coil. Each shape that makes up a card begins as a tight coil. From there, the coil is relaxed and molded with fingers or tweezers until the desired shape is attained, and is then glued down onto the card. This process is repeated again and again, until the quiller has layered on the entirety of the final design.
