The Art of Quilling

Over the past few months, I’ve taken up the art of quilling. I was so inspired by this lobster I had seen while browsing the net. A friend of mine told me the technical name of the art form and I was hooked. I started off small, just learning the technique, how to curl the paper and and different ways to shape it. After more investigation, I came across an artist named Yulia Brodskaya and her work is amazing! Below is a tasting of some of my quilled art pieces, and I’ve posted the rest on flickr. Enjoy!

Art for art

I was recently asked by my hubby, “when was the last time you did art for fun?” Honestly, I can’t remember when I even had time to devote to creating art. Granted, I’m being creative everyday, but it’s not free-flowing without boundaries.

This weekend, I was moved. I wanted to create a painting to evoked a sense of calm. My brother has been in the hospital for over a week now with what seems to be similar to what my mom went through. It’s sad to see anyone in the hospital, let alone a family member. Though, we’ve grown apart as we grew up, we are still family and it hurts all the same. I wanted him to know I was there for him and to see something that would give him peace in his days in the hospital.

Here a picture of the painting.
