Colourful Quilling

A few weeks ago, a friend and I were talking about pastimes that can be done with little space required that did not involve computers. I mentioned my Christmas bauble beading. She felt that this was my preserve, so I mentioned quilling to her, which was a former pastime of mine.

 

Quilling or paper filigree is an art form that involves the use of strips of paper that are rolled, shaped, and glued together to create decorative designs. It is a fun, simple and very cathartic pastime to have. However like beading or embroidery, it takes patience as you will have to roll many a quill to make a splendid picture.

 

This year the FFF+ Group have decided to have a weekly challenge called “Snap Happy”. A different theme chosen by a member of the group each week, and the image is to be posted on the Monday of the week.

 

This week the theme, “colourful” was chosen by Andrew, ajhaysom.

 

The conversation I had with my friend inspired me to make a few quills out of some of the colourful craft paper I have in my home.
