This is my Black and White Quilled WindowBox #5, handcrafted by me in my New Hampshire studio.

It is one of a kind and is my original design. It is one of my 10" x 10" WindowBoxes. It is matted and framed under glass in a black oak frame as shown.

These are 10x10 framed pieces which include quilling, paper beads, fancy cut mats, beautiful hand-made papers, pretty threads, and a lot of love. They are a joy to make and keep me thinking about new ideas.

I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoy making them.

Every WindowBox is one-of-a-kind and framed in a wood frame. Let me know if you have a favorite color. I will make up a WindowBox just for you. If you love it, you buy it.........If not, you don't. Custom, your color, my way. Lots of fun.


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 want to create pieces that will make you stop and rest awhile, pieces that you will really want to be a Part of Your Life.

just fun to experiment......

A little more information about my work -- I do everything from the beginning to the end of each and every piece...Just Me. I start with the design work, the cutting of the overlay with an exacto knife, the rolling of the quilling paper, by hand, the glueing, the cutting of the mats, the cutting of the glass, the putting-it-all-together in the frame under glass, the photographing and all the website work.........if you have any questions, please email me.
