Quilled Artist Series Irises by Van Gogh Greeting Card

Handcrafted quilled art card featuring Van Gogh's "Starry Night" that's truly a work of art.  Made in Vietnam. 5" x 7" Blank inside. Extra postage required.  

Description:

Irises is one of a series of still life paintings Vincent Van Gogh made after checking himself into Saint Paul-de-Mausole asylum in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, France, in the last year before his death in 1890. Drawing inspiration from the garden within the asylum, Vincent masterfully captured their beauty by contrasting the lush bouquet over a vibrant background. The Irises were purple in the original painting, but the red pigments faded turning them into the iconic blue we know today.

The Artist Series artfully transforms paint strokes into paper strips using the ancient art of quilling. Each card takes several hours to make and reimagines a famous work of art into a magnificent greeting card that can either be sent and shared with loved ones or kept and framed as the work of art it is.

About the Maker:

Quilling is the art of rolling, coiling and shaping small strips of paper to create a cohesive three-dimensional design and has been practiced for centuries.  Historians have been able to date the art form back to Ancient Egyptian times where crafters would use a bird's feather (quill) as the tool to coil the paper upon.
