ART WITH HEART

The art of quilling started with Rennaissance-era nuns and monks, who rolled up bits of excess paper at the scriptorium and used them to make decorations for religious objects. This tiny piece of paper art is the product of the same painstaking handwork process, but brings contemporary colors and imagery to the fore. An unexpected way to say "I love you," or even just "you brighten my day," each framed piece is one-of-a-kind. Made by Ashley Chiang in Maryland.
