Quilled Lady with Fan, Klimt Card

This card reimagines a famous work of art by rolling, coiling and shaping small strips of paper to create a cohesive three-dimensional design.  The artisans artfully transform paint strokes into paper strips using the ancient art of quilling.  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.
