Paper has been my passion since I was a little girl at that time I thought I had 'invented' the paper beads (rolled up paper triangles)...imagine my disappointment when I discover that the art of paper beads was already renowned during the Victorian era!! Anyway this didn't stop me from filling up my parents house with paper triangles everywhere until one day my sister come up to me and gave me some quilling paper (straight strips of paper) telling me: 'Please can you do something new with paper, I cannot take these paper beads any longer!'
After some time and numerous attempts on new shapes and directions I found that weaving those strips of paper was the way to go. From that day on I started weaving and I have yet to stop!!
I discover that there are so many shapes that can be achieved by repeating over and over the same movement, and that design possibilities are virtually unlimited. This is at the same time fun and challenging.
...this pretty much sums up very briefly the beginning of my history with paper.
