Quillwork : The Craft of Paper Filigree

Quillwork began in Europe around the 13th century as a paper imitation of gold and silver filigree work.

In this vintage book, originally published in 1975, Janet and Alex D'Amato have evolved traditional quilling into a delightful and whimsical craft.

They show you how to make quillwork jewelry, wall-hangings, Christmas ornaments, gift wrap decorations-even quilled Valentines, place cards, mobiles and paperweights.

The materials are so inexpensive and the techniques so simple, that quillwork is truly a craft for all ages and budgets.

Line drawings and photographs throughout the book provide inspiration and clarification.
