About Sandra White

My original technique of overlaying a simple cut out over the quill work has allowed me to incorporate the traditional craft of quilling into my ducks, birds, wild flowers, and other wildlife. The cut out is the design and the quill work is the detail for the feathers in the ducks and birds, the veins in the flowers and leaves, and the fur in the moose and polar bear. This technique has taught me to "see again" as the shading requires sometimes tedious time and patience to get it right. And if you don't see it, you can't recreate it. I feel that my quill work and cut out technique has caused my quilling to change from craft to art. Oftentimes, my quillwork defies recognition. I have now added paper sculpture and paper cut work to my pieces. I am also working on scenes and large pieces - The time for production has passed and it is now time to be much more creative. 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. I sell only retail, as I am working by myself and cannot produce large numbers of work. Specialties: wedding invitation keepsakes, birth announcement keepsakes, quilled wildlife art, quilling my way
