312. Quilled Skull

Quilled Paper (5.5in x 6in [14cm x 15cm]). I'd never seen quilling before I encountered it on Keltie's site and then the other day my friend Mimi mentioned it as well and even lent me a book with directions in it called "Early American Crafts"! The paper I used is all documents I'd run through the shredder to keep away from prying eyes.

    I thought it read "quilted" (which just puzzled me for a moment) ... then I thought, "Is he going to quilt one?"

    Are you?

    Wow! If you stare at it long enough the spirals start to swirl. Nice work again.

    COOL! Using an "old lady" craft to make something like this!

    I had to chuckle at the "old lady craft" comment since I am rapidly approaching old age, but I loved the quilled scull. I will be sure to share the link with my many quilling friends. I am including my web site http://www.Whimsiquills.com (which does not have any sculls)for those not familiar with this beautiful art form. Pat

    Well done! Next you will have to do a scrapbook skull. I gave quilling a go, but couldn't get the hang of it. I'll stick to my textile crafts, thanks. :P

    Great work on the skull!! Very creative! I've seen many things turned into quilled art but never a skull.
    Btw,while Quilling is an old art form.. the people who do it are a wide variety of ages all over the world. I'm not even middle aged! LOL!

    Very cool - I'm a quiller (but am not old in any sense of the word and have taught people of many ages to quill - so the "old lady craft" is FAR from the truth) and have never seen a quilled skull. Thanks for making one quilled!
