Quilling is a lovely filigreed paper art done by curling paper with a little split ended tool (originally a feather quill) and creating filigreed designs. Craft one of these gorgeous Valentine designs or make up your own. A 15th century art of France and Italy used first by nuns to embellish religious objects, it has had a resurgence, and well it should as it is a lovely decorative art. Come and make your first quilled greeting card or frame it in a delightful shadowbox. The sky is the limit on the wonder you can create with this simple yet amazing skill.
