Quilling is something I've never tried or,frankly, that I'd have the patience for but the results are so pretty and dainty.The artform came into being during the Renaissance when nuns and monks used gilded paper strips to ornament book covers and religious items.During the 18th century, it was considered an acceptable past-time for "ladies of leisure" as it was not too taxing on their delicate minds and fragile constitutions (wikipedia). I'll just leave that one alone..........

Artist: Jean Sonnet
My french is wholly inadequate at gleaning much info on artist Jean Sonnet.He lives in France, he has a cat and he creates beautiful ? collections ? groupings......regardless of nomenclature his works of unique vintage and natural elements displayed on worn washboards (my interpretation-may not be correct) are truly inventive.
