Jewelry or trinket box covered with quilling. Size is 4” X 4” with magnetic closure. The quilling is sealed with polyurethane for a durable long lasting finish. This would make a perfect gift or actually it would be a novel attention getter while it is sitting on your desk – full of paperclips or whatever. Although it took hours and hours to complete this item – it is listed at $35 and totally worth every cent.
Quilling or paper filigree is an art form that involves the use of strips of paper that are rolled, shaped and glued together to create decorative designs. During the Renaissance, French and Italian nuns and monks used quilling to decorate books.
We are confused – it is suppose to be spring – so why this cold weather? We will take what we get, but we can wonder about it. Oh well, this year is already going at warp speed. And the older we get …. It just gets faster and faster. Hey, just had an idea – it may be that we are getting slower?? Oh no! That actually makes sense – being as I am always behind schedule on everything and feel like catching up is way too hard to even attempt.
