Animal Quilling Patterns James Mullen

Quilling is considered as an ancient art form and it is still being practiced today. This is sometimes called the paper filigree, this is an art form that involves paper strips that are rolled, shaped, and glued together to create very decorative designs. The rolled paper is wound around the quill that creates a basic coil shape. The paper will be glued at its tip and the coil will then be shaped, the shaped coils will then be arranged to form flowers, leaves, and other ornamental patterns that can also be similar to ironwork; this is the basic way on how to do quilling
Nowadays, paper quilling is still alive and well. People who practice this kind of artwork are called "quillers". Quillers teach young ladies on how to do quilling, as a part of their income, hobby, interest, or even do this for leisure. Doing this art is no longer classified as an "upper class" art since ordinary people can also do this. The art suddenly became the people's art form and the beauty they create is always expanding and innovated. The said craft easily became popular because of its low cost of materials. It is often used to make an invitation for wedding, birth announcements, scrapbook pages, and different storage boxes.
