Quilled Two Women by the Shore Mediterranean, Cross- Artist Series

Two Women by the Shore, Mediterranean was created by French artist Henri Edmond Cross in 1896. The painting is an iconic example of pointillism, which is a style of painting made up of many individual dots. Cross is considered a neoimpressionist who strived to purify the techniques and effects of impressionism. Cross said, “I want to paint happiness, happy beings who will have become mankind in several centuries when pure anarchy will be realized.” 

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.
