Brief History of Quilling
Quilling is a delicate papercraft that has it's roots in the past estimated between 13 and 1500 AD and it is said that Nuns decorated religious artifacts with strips of paper decoratively rolled and attached. These strips were rolled on the QUILL of a bird feather and hence it's name! Paper filigree is another name for quilling and reflects the nature of it's look to that of fine lacework or that done by jewellers. Quilling is often done on cards but also on boxes, hats, as stand alone items and many more varieties!
