Quilling

Detail of a quilled picture.

Quilling, also referred to as paper filigree, is the art of rolling and shaping narrow strips of paper, and arranging them into designs. Husking is another form of quilling; paper strips are wrapped around pins inserted into a work board in a specific design, then the resulting shapes are arranged into designs.

The paper is available pre-cut in a variety of colors. It requires fine detail work and is artistically satisfying.
