Quilling

The zipper dress from the last post recalled quilling. I remember doing this craft when I was a youngster — twirling thin strips of paper around pencils and then fashioning them into an intricate designs. Seen here from Inna’s Creations, I think it’s quite a colorful and fun art form. Plus, these make great kids projects.

The quilling concept can make functional art as well seen in Fernando and Humberto Campagna’s chairs:

I'm an artist, wife and mother of two boys. I started my illustration business, The Occasional Palette over 35 years ago, when my oldest son was an infant. Once my children were in school, I began painting decorative, faux finishes and murals through my second business, Casart, now over 30 years old. My third business, Casart Coverings, is a springboard from my second.
