45-year-old artist from the UK who has spent the last 5 years making my art Pieces from thousands of tiny strips of paper.

he have a keen interest in the natural world and the technique of on-edge quilling lends itself beautifully to hair, fur, and feathers, so I created an a-to-z of animals from the air, land, and sea to showcase the different textures that can be created. I try to make my paper animal pictures look as real as possible with only the on-edge technique.

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. The paper is rolled, looped, curled, twisted and otherwise manipulated to create shapes which also make up designs to decorate greetings cards, pictures, boxes, eggs, and to make models, jewelry, mobiles etc.

Quilling starts with rolling a strip of paper into a coil and then pinching the coil into shapes that can be glued together. There are advanced techniques and different sized paper that are used to create 3D miniatures, abstract art, flowers and portraits among many things.

Quilling is relatively easy to learn compared to most other crafts, and with the resources available today, it can be learned by almost everyone. Basic quilling techniques can be learned almost anywhere and there are several videos online to teach how to start quilling. There are more exotic styles of quilling that aren't commonly taught, but can be learned through books that teach the specific style.
