Quillwork

Quillwork began in Europe around the 13th century as a paper imitation of gold and silver filigree work. In this vintage book originally published in 1975 Janet and Alex D’Amato have evolved traditional quilling into a delightful and whimsical craft. They show you how to make quillwork jewelry wall-hangings Christmas ornaments gift wrap decorations—even quilled Valentines place cards mobiles and paperweights. The materials are so inexpensive and the techniques so simple that quillwork is truly a craft for all ages and budgets. Line drawings and photographs throughout the book provide inspiration and clarification.<BR />
