Quilling: 20 Beautiful Designs Format: Paperback

Following on from the success of her first book, Sena Runa presents a brand new collection of exciting projects to make. As in her first book, there are plenty of designs that will appeal to the complete beginner, but there are also some more challenging designs for readers that want to build on their skills.

The 20 projects cover a wide range of subject matter that will appeal to all ages, including a rainbow, llama, hot-air balloon, ice cream, airplane and scooter. Using Sena’s signature subtle gradations of color and pops of bright, sunny tones, once framed they create gorgeous artwork for the home. They can also be used to decorate greetings cards.

For quilling novices there is information on the tools and materials needed and a complete guide to quilling techniques – they’re simple to learn with impressive results. This absorbing pastime can be picked up and put down, fitting into busy lives and offering moments of calm enjoyment.

Turkish born Sena Runa discovered her love of paper quilling a few years ago and now devotes all her time to it. She has enjoyed developing her own particular style and approach, using bright pops of color or graduating shades. The result is fun, fresh and modern.
