New Quilled Designs by PaperGraphic

I visited Natasha Molotkova's site PaperGraphic [no longer available] recently to see the latest. She continues to impress with paper art designs created for advertisements, book covers, and magazines. Each makes me think of a drawing brought to life, thanks to dimension provided by on-edge paper strips placed perfectly so.

Like Yulia Brodskaya, Natasha's technique is flawless with every strip serving a purpose. She adds just the right amount of interest with the addition of a colored background.

Neuron for a book cover

Natasha is from Novosibirsk, Siberia and lives in England. She studied graphic design at a Russian university, but while earning a graduate degree in fashion, textiles, clothing construction, and surface design in Worcester, came across paper quilling and was fascinated.

Rather than using typical quilling paper, Natasha cuts strips from cardstock and glues each one in place along its entire length. All of her work is done completely by hand.
