by the letter…
Quilling, as seen in the letter “C” to the left, is a paper art form. Paper strips are formed into coils then glued together to create an image. This art form was used during the Renaissance to decorate religious items and book covers. During the 18th century it was a popular pastime for ladies of leisure.
Today quilling is enjoying a revival.
I love typography. Artist Sabeena Karnick of Mumbai, India has created a beautiful typography inspired alphabet using quilling for her letter forms. Here is a link to her work.
It’s quite wonderful!
