The art of Quilling

Leesandra Diaz

Love this. Leesandra Diaz makes all kinds of paper art using the technique of quilling. Quilling involves strips of paper that are formed into decorative shapes by coiling, crimping and folding. and You can see more of her work on her blog, Sweet Spot or purchase your very own creation at her Etsy shop.
