(I’m on vacation this week, so while I will still be posting every day, the posts will be a bit on the short side. I hope you nonetheless find them interesting!)
Istanbul resident Sena Runa wanted a hobby. She did what many other people do; she searched the internet for something that spoke to her, something she could do in her spare time to relax. She came upon the art of paper quilling and knew she had found her thing. Three short years later, Ms. Runa quit her day job in corporate human resources to pursue her paper art full time. (I have never been more jealous!)
Her skill with color and proportion and shapes make her work some of the most striking quilling I’ve ever seen. I hope you love them as much as I do!

And now I wish I’d entitled it Breathtaking Paperwork! Thank you for the good wishes. We’re doing half a staycation, then headed off to A.C. to be ironic.

I agree! They’d be awful to dust, though.

The violin, the ballerina, & the crab… Such stunning work, all of it. Those three stood out the most to me. Thank you for sharing this!

Aren’t they lovely? I never would have considered that a spiral could be at home in such unexpected places.

I fell in love with the art of paper quilling while visiting a quaint little shop on an old olive farm. These works are absolutely beautiful! She is very talented!

I have see little bits her and there, but I had no idea such things were possible! She’s really raised it to a whole new level. Glad you liked them!
