QUILLING : PAPER KINGDOM
Art has always been a legion tool for liberation of own's creative juices. And there is something absolutely charming and personal about paper art of Quilling, and it's still as impressive and popular now as it was during the Renaissance.
Basically, the Quilling process consists of cutting strips of paper, and rolling them with a special tool. It sounds simple enough, but special skill is required to create more advanced shapes like marquises, arrowheads or holly leaves. All through the years, the ART of quilling has remained almost unchanged, but new specialty supplies now allow quilling masters to create anything from detailed 3-D figures to wall-sized museum installations.
The paper is rolled, looped, curled, twisted and otherwise manipulated to create shapes which make up designs to decorate greetings cards, pictures, boxes, eggs, and to make models, jewellery, mobiles etc. The most popular and versatile technique is that of rolling. The paper strip is rolled in fingers or using a tool called a quilling needle. The coil is then released and shaped and then glued at the tip. These shaped coils are arranged to form flowers, leaves, and various ornamental patterns.
