Quillographer and Sewist | Visual Artist

NOVEMBER 2016 - PRESENT

As a Quillographer, I explore and fine-tune my quilling techniques through a lot of trial and error, and have been designing with paper in my own way. I have been experimenting with different art techniques, mixing paper with other art media, and making paper gifts for close friends and family.

Keeping an inventory of my paper increased in complexity as my process evolved over the years with me. Also, keeping my tiny, newly formed shapes organized was paramount when working on multiple intricate designs simultaneously for months. To do this, I:

• Create and maintain an inventory of  

  • A variety of papers of varying weights, textures, and colors

  • Quilling paper of various sizes, thicknesses, lengths, and colors

  • Other art and quilling tools and supplies

• Develop and maintain my unique quilled art piece inventory which consists of more than 100 unique tiny handcrafted pieces that range from 1mm to 10cm in size and 1 mm to 15 mm in thickness. This collection keeps on growing as I experiment and create new designs.

• As a sewist, I mainly design and sew dresses and style  18” and 14” dolls.
