ore letters.

I think it's safe to say Lorene's sister-in-law Dusty, who blogs atDoug's Supertastic Blogging Experience, is also smitten with quilling. Her first attempt was this graceful N. Rather than beginning by shaping a paper frame for the letter, she relied on long scrolls to create it.

Dusty's next project was something I have to admit I've never seen translated into quilling before... can you guess what it is?

A peace sign. Well done, Dusty!

She used clip art to trace the basic outline, filled it in with scrolls, and placed it in a shadowbox. Dusty has also framed this stylish tree, created from loose scrolls, teardrop coils, and a teeny-tiny heart.

Lastly, here's a project that requires a bigger time investment, but if you happen to love paisley, it's well worth it.

Suzy, from Suzy's Artsy Crafty Sitcom, designed this pretty amazing A. She's posted a how-to that begins with the creation of a dimensional cardboard base.

Sometimes I wonder how on earth I discovered certain things, but I distinctly remember learning how to do paper filagree(aka quilling) when I was in seventh grade. We were living in Los Alamos, NM (my father was a physicist, doing research there part of each year; we lived in Bryan, Texas the rest of the time). I must have found a book about quilling (I discovered calligraphy that same year) and found the paper strips somewhere. It is all a blur now, but it was fun to learn the different ways you could roll and pinch paper.Most quillwork in museums dates from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. It was first practiced by Renaissance nuns and monks who are said to have made artistic use of the gilded edges of worn out bibles, and later by 18th century ladies who made artistic use of lots of free time.Here are the basics of quilling, if you happen to have some thin strips of paper laying around (you roll the paper strips around a quilling needle tool, which looks something like a potters needle or awl):And here’s a kit you can purchase if you are so inclined:When I was finishing up my book, Playing With Paper, I happened to be in North Adams, MA visiting Storey Books, the publisher of my other books. Someone at Storey told me about Lisa Nilsson, who lives in North Adams. She happened to be out of town, but thankfully returned my e-mail and agreed to have her artwork featured in the gallery section of the book.Lisa creates these incredibly detailed anatomical cross sections in quilling. Watch her discuss this work at the 2012 TedMED conference.Lisa’s work is also featured in another book, High Touch, Tactile Design and Visual Explorations.I’ve heard from many of you who are following this blog, but only from one quiller:Sandra White. Her technique uses the quill work as a background and details to cut-outs of wildlife. The quill work simulates the feathers in the duck and birds, the scales on the fish, the veins in the wildflowers, and the fur on the moose.There is another woman I’ve discovered on the internet, Yulia Brodskaya, who has her own style of quill work which she uses in her artwork and illustration.And I’ll end with a quilled snowflake by Forever Filagree.
Tive a alegria de descobrir por acaso um quadro lindo no Museu do Vaticano feito com esta técnica.Esta arte também é conhecida por filigrana em papel, pois quando a beirada do papel é coberta em ouro ou tinta dourada, a peça final parece ter sido feita com fios de ouro.
Além de um curso no qual participei, eu aprendi muito vendo váriossites na internet e com alguns livros.Aqui é onde começa minha diversão!
Este é o material básico para se fazer quilling. Quem não tiver o instrumento próprio para enrolar o papel, pode-se usar uma agulha. Simplesmente corte a ponta de uma agulha grossa onde fica o "olho" para que se possa inserir o papel no meio.Se não encontrar papel já cortado em tiras,
corte papel tipo sulfite em tiras de 3, 6, 9 mm.
Quanto mais estreita a tira, mais delicada a aparência.Insira o papel na fresta da agulha e comece a enrolar. Quando chegar no final do papel, cuidadosamente coloque o rolinho dentro do
círculo deuma régua, ou então solte o rolinho na
mesa e deixe-o desenrolar naturalmente. Quanto
mais apertado enrolar o papel, mais
apertado será o rolinho.Coloque um pouco de cola na ponta do papel com
uma agulha.Quanto menos cola, melhor. Use uma pinça para segurar a extremidade com
cola no rolinho. Assim não se corre o risco do
rolinho se desenrolar.Pronto! Esta é a base dos outros formatos. Se apertar as duas extremidades, formar-se-á
uma marquise. Se apertar uma só extremidade,
uma gota. E daí por diante.Vasinho feito com o rolinho apertado. Ou seja,
depois de enrolar até atingir o tamanho desejado,
cola-se a extremidade do papel ainda na agulha,
sem deixá-lo se desenrolar.Para se fazer esta florzinha, antes de enrolar
o papel, recorta-se uma beira da tira.Depois de praticar um pouco, usando um pouco de imaginação, arranje os rolinhos e você se deparará com lindas imagens!
