Burning green

Emily's green theme was mulling in my head when I came across the work of Yulia Brodskaya (papercrave.com/yulia-brodskaya-paper-illustration). She's taken the formerly daggy craft of paper quilling and made it into something delicious and clean and modern. I wanted a building being enveloped in green tendrils, like licking flames and hungry happy plants, and it turned out pretty much as I'd hoped.

  1. That is very beautiful! I like the transformation of the 'daggy art' as you say.. Did you make this or is it her work?? Either way - pretty unique!

  3. Gorgeous.... reminds me of an exhibition I saw in Newcastle last year.... can't remember the artist... also reminds me of a French? cartoony thingy that used to be on the ABC when I was a kid... origami ducks cruising around a paper world...

  4. That's awesome. Very Nice Bronsior. That technique would work very nicely in metal too.
