Yesterday my dear friend sent me an Autumn leaf in a marvelous, impressive card. The card was a quilled bouquet, original art, mounted to fine paper.
I have seen examples of quilling now and then before. Now, after working as a collage artist for some months, I see the quilling with new and profound respect. This was so expertly made, that I can’t imagine learning such a refined technique.
Each flower and leaf was exquisite! Each one had repeated patterns and shapes that were separate and perfectly done. I was truly in awe. My ADD personality would go bonkers trying to do this work. I am so glad there are artisans in the world with the skill to make beautiful art that so many of us take for granted.
My time with PMR has blessed me with the opportunity to love and respect art forms that are not painting. Art is art! Whatever the medium one chooses. We should respect lesser glorified mediums and gifted artists, not just painters. I have learned humility and respect for many art forms this year, thankfully.
Country painters can learn……
