How a piece is made

Paper quilling is patience made visible. This is how Guna turns strips of paper into a framed heirloom.

1. Design: Every piece starts as a drawing, sized to the frame it will live in.
2. Roll: Narrow strips of acid-free paper are rolled into tight coils with a quilling tool.
3. Shape: Each coil is loosened, then pinched into a teardrop, marquise, leaf or square.
4. Set: Thousands of shapes are glued in place one by one, building colour and depth.
5. Frame: The finished art is protected under glass in a frame chosen to suit it.
