Quilling―the art of rolling and shaping strips of paper into intricate decorative designs―has been popular for hundreds of years. In Quilling Art, Turkish paper artist Sena Runa gives this time-honored craft a stylish and contemporary update sure to appeal to the 21st century artist.

The 20 stunning projects include an apple, butterfly, cloud, heart, and other popular designs and motifs. Pairing elaborate design with a clever use of color creates exciting effects in the projects, which vary in complexity to appeal to quillers of all skill levels. Each project features easy-to-follow instructions with step-by-step photographs and templates that take guess work out of the quilling process. More than just a project book, Quilling Art is a full-blown course in papercraft that will help you develop skills and techniques that will allow you to create your own show-stopping designs.

Debbie's Rating 4.5: This artist used the art of paper on edge to draw outlines and then sues quilling shapes to fill the void. Pictures are great and directions are solid but this takes a little more practice that typical quilling techniques. It also really expands the creative possibilities!
