You don't see many artists doing quilling, but when you do it's amazing. I remember being in junior high when I saw my first quilling kit at the local craft store. It seemed like such a simple thing to roll tiny strips of paper and glue them together to make beautiful flowers. My excitement turned to frustration when the paper tore and the glue stuck to my fingers and the paper in the most unattractive way. It's harder than it looks.
Sarah Yakawonis (Greene, Maine) must be a very patient person. Her fine-art quilling produces intricate images of anatomy using hundreds of pieces of hand-torn paper. They really are magnificent. Her shop is
Yakawonis Quilling and along with her original art she offers prints of her work.
I'm fascinated by these images and would love to see them in person.
