Quilling Animal Designs

Two very different cats take the top spot today.

The following, is how British artist Bekah Stonefox introducing herself: "I'm a 45-year-old artist from the UK who has spent the last 5 years making my art from thousands of tiny strips of paper."

This style of art is called quilling (press the link as we have many posts illustrating this beautiful form of art).
Quilling is an art form that uses strips of paper or ribbon; they are rolled, bent, twisted and then glued on a surface, to create a design.

In this post and in the ones in the link above, you will be able to see just how simple or complex you can go, with some extraordinary results when you are proficient enough, as is Stonefox. Look at the right hand side of the dog's face, the gaps in the paper look like highlights. What a fantastic effect.

For the people that are new to this style, have a look at the power of paper; for the people who know it, a chance to see lovely new designs.

Ps. I gave the images some titles.

    1. I can definitely see what you mean, such an amazing expression in those eyes. They almost speak the gorilla's thoughts.

      I hope you have a wonderful start to the weekend.🌿️🌺️🌿️
