My beautiful quilled Double Herons design is triple matted and framed in a 10" x 10" wood brown frame (finished size is 12"x12") with rolled paper cattails to enhance the scene. This design looks wonderful when hung alone or together with two other of my heron designs for a dramatic wall collection.

This beautiful Quilled Double Heron wall art is an original design and paper craft technique, made exclusively by Sandra White in the New Hampshire Studio. It is one of the "Herons on the Merrymeeting" collection.

My Heron designs are the perfect gift for the man in your life. You can choose the Heron Turned, Heron, Heron in Flight, Heron Fishing, or even the Heron Pair. And they are all matted and framed the same so they make perfect sets. I also can frame and mat to match your home decor. Just ask.



What is Quilling?

Quilling is a very old craft. Its name comes of the old practice of trimming the gold edges from books, and then winding the narrow strips of paper around feather quills, using the quill for the tool. Once rolled into circles and pinched into various shapes, the paper is used as texture and detail in pictures.

My own technique uses the quill work as a background and details to cut-outs of wildlife. The quill work simulates the feathers in the duck and birds, the scales on the fish, the veins in the wildflowers, and the fur on the moose.

I love herons as we see them all summer on the Merrymeeting River.
