Sunflowers by Vincent Van Gogh is the title of two series of still life paintings. This one in particular has become the most well-recognized from the second series with all paintings depicting sunflowers in vases. The second series of five canvases were created in Arles, south of France, between 1888 and 1889. Van Gogh intentionally used only three shades of yellow ‘and nothing else’ to depict the sunflowers which he thought communicated ‘gratitude’.
The Artist Series artfully transforms paint strokes into paper strips using the ancient art of quilling. Each card takes several hours to make and reimagines a famous work of art into a magnificent greeting card that can either be sent and shared with loved ones or kept and framed as the work of art it is.
Who Made It: Every quilled card is beautifully handmade by a highly skilled artisan and takes one hour to create. Quilling Card, rooted in Vietnam, has a team of women who have become passionate about the art of quilling. Quilling Card provides a stable, safe work environment with healthcare and food benefits to all the artisans. In 2014, they opened their doors and were able to employ over 100 quillers. Now they operate two workshops with 500 locals in Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam.
