Today Lorraine Stanfield and Ralph Bichel spoke with members of the Happy Club about their quilling.
Lorraine told how they met and later learned about quilling at a resort in Texas.Paper quilling dates back the 14th century when religious sisters would do it to embellish Bibles or religious tracts. It saw a resurgence in Victorian times as it was considered something a woman of standing could do "without being too taxing upon her delicate nature."
Above is the first piece Lorraine did.
Ralph has really enjoyed this centuries-old art form. As a former art student, he has enjoyed designing his own creations.
It's amazing what you can do with
a bunch of thin strips of paper.
