Two Women by the Shore, Mediterranean, Cross Quilled Greeting Card

This magnificent 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.

Description:

Two Women by the Shore, Mediterranean was created by French artist Henri Edmond Cross in 1896. The painting demonstrates a technique similar to pointillism, which is a style of painting made up of many individual dots. Cross' work however uses a more colorful and varied application than traditional pointilism. Because of this, Cross is considered a neo-impressionist who strived to refine the techniques of impressionism.
