Sandra Baughman curls long, thin strips of paper to create shapes that then become the brush marks of her art, quilling or paper filigree. Curls and scrolls tun into leaves and flower petals, straight or kinked strips grow into feathers and fur. watch as Sandra demonstrates quilling from 4-8 p.m. May 11 at Indiana Artisan Gifts & Gallery, 22 N. Rangeline Road, Carmel.
While quilling dates back centuries when monks and nuns would cut strips from their books and roll shapes to inlay into their furniture for decorative purposes, it is seldom seen today because it is such a demanding, difficult art. Sandra, a Fort Wayne artist, will use traditional techniques and more modern ones to create a unique piece of art. Guests will see how a wildlife picture is built, twirl by creative, laborious twirl.
