Awesome Paper Art by Alia Design

by Leave a Comment

Alia is an artist who creates amazing things with paper. The art is called quilling. Quilling is a craft that involves cutting paper into strips and shaping the pieces into arcs, curves, and coils. Those shapes are then glued into place by hand to make these beautiful designs.

Both the subject matter and style of my work are a departure from traditional quilling. All of my pieces focus on geek culture, employing unique techniques and design elements I developed myself. Though my personal choice of theme falls into the geek realm, I love collaborating to do custom orders of any subject matter! -Alia

Alia sells her artwork on her Etsy page, check it out to buy one of these or a custom order. AliaDesign
