Ooak Quilled Landscape: Birches At Sunset
Birches at Sunset.This is a one of a kind quilled landscape piece, one of my newest pieces. If this piece is no longer available, I can email you photos of what I have available for your consideration. This is framed in a 16" x 20" honey oak frame, and single matted in a cream mat.
What is Quilling?
Quilling is a very old craft. Its name comes of the old practice of trimming the gold edges from books, and then winding the narrow strips of paper around feather quills, using the quill for the tool. Once rolled into circles and pinched into various shapes, the paper is used as texture and detail in pictures.
My own technique uses the quill work as a background and details to cut-outs. This technique with my landscapes is entirely quilled, using the rolls of paper for texture, color and movement. What do you think?
A little more information about my work -- I do everything from the beginning to the end of each and every piece...Just Me. I start with the design work, the cutting of the overlay with an exacto knife, the rolling of the quilling paper, by hand, the glueing, the cutting of the mats, the cutting of the glass, the putting-it-all-together in the frame under glass, the photographing and all the website work.........if you have any questions, please email me.
