📷 Amazing art of quilling

Exhibitions of craftsmen are my weakness, and today I once again decided to share with you especially liked the creative works of the Kuban masters. Look what cute pictures in the technique of quilling can be done quickly with their own hands.

Since ancient times, papermaking has been considered the art of making flat or three-dimensional compositions. Already finished the spiral was attached to a form and it turned out that such kind of products.

From individual twisted strips of paper, called modules, it was possible to assemble any picture or even an object.

The masters themselves choose the drawing, plan the scale, think over the color scheme.

This kind of art was invented by monks. Many centuries ago, cutting off the gilded edges of books, they wrapped thin strips on the tips of bird feathers, hence the name itself (quill — from English means "bird feather").

Imagine how much you need to twist small modules to make this egg. But if you work with pleasure, the products are bright and impressive.

In the technique of quilling master not only paintings or postcards, make albums, photo frames, even make various figures, jewelry and more.

In recent years, this art has become popular among young people. Today in many schools of our city such flowers do directly at lessons.

We are using and glue, and a variety of ribbon, paper, a stapler, and most importantly patience and perseverance. Haste is not needed here, otherwise nothing will work.

Anyone could try to make some model, and then attach it to the finished picture, or create your own postcard. The material was enough for all.

Thank you for Your attention and Your visit. I appreciate Your feedback and comments. I wish you luck and have a nice day!

Best wishes,
