Paper Can Be Anything But Basic
Think paper is basic? Think again.
Yulia Brodskaya manages to turn paper into fantastical, illusionary artworks that come to life. A graphic designer and illustrator who has worked with companies from Neiman Marcus and Hermes to Starbucks and Bentley, her expertise is using glue and bent strips of colorful paper in a technique known as "quilling." However, she has managed to take it to another level.
"I don't always call it quilling because I have actually discovered a new way of using the basic technique," she told The Huffington Post via email. "I work with paper strips as if I'm drawing with paper instead of on it. Traditional quilling is constrained by the use of basic shapes, so it is a bit different ... I made it [cooler], modern, gave this paper craft a new life."
