...challenge today: ornament
This is a special angel made by quilling, the art of rolling, coiling and shaping small strips of paper to create a cohesive three dimensional design and has been practiced for centuries. Historians have been able to date the art form from back to Ancient Egyptians times where crafters would use a bird's feather (quill) as the tool to coil the paper upon.
Throughout the Western World, quilling has seen different periods of resurgence over the years.
