Product Description
This is my Quilled Pelican, handcrafted by me in my New Hampshire studio. It is my original design, and is one of my 8" x 10" quilled and custom framed "WildLife Scenes". It is triple matted and framed in a black oak frame as shown. It would pair nicely with the penguin or puffin.


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.
Inspiration/Story Behind This Product
Pelicans, although not native to New Hampshire, caught my attention when I visited my brother in Key West. They are just so unlikely to fly. But they are pretty funny and seem to spend much time standing on the post on the docks, and people seem to spend as much time trying to come up with ways to prevent them from doing so. I expect they are probably very much like our antics with the Canada Goose here.
Materials Used
paper, quilling
