Description

Details

Quilling has been around for hundreds of years. The art of rolling, or coiling, and shaping of small strips of paper to create a pattern or design dates back to Egyptian times. Sources say that during the Renaissance, nuns and monks would roll gold-guilded paper remnants trimmed during the book making process, and used them to decorate religious objects as an alternative to costly gold filigree. In later centuries, the art of Quilling became a favorite past-time for European ladies who would decorate household items with the quilling techniques.

The art got its name due to use of birds' feathers (quill) to coil the paper upon.

The art found its way to America with the Pilgrims. Today quilling is still practiced throughout the globe as an art form.

These cards are all hand-crafted in Vietnam by artists who practice the skill and joy of creating three dimensional greeting cards.

Don't just send a card, send art!!
