About Archangel Michael Quilling

Tha Archangel Michael na phìos Framed Quilling a chruthaich Niamh. Thàinig a brosnachadh airson a ’phìos Quilling seo de Archangel Michael a chruthachadh bho a màthair. Nuair a bha a seanmhair gu math tinn, bha màthair Niamh anns a ’chàr aca agus thuit a’ bhràiste airson Archangel Michael bhon sgàthan na pòcaid nuair a chaochail a seanmhair agus thug seo comhfhurtachd dhaibh uile le fios gun robh i ga dìon. Is e an t-amas buaidh tùsail a chruthachadh fhad ‘s a bhios an neach-amharc a’ cumail sùil air a ’phìos, bho seo bidh e a’ tarraing sùil an luchd-amhairc nas fhaisge gus am mion-fhiosrachadh fhaicinn.

Design Challenge: The process challenges that Niamh came across when creating this piece was knowing when to finish it. Each and every strip of paper was individually cut and shaped and she found it was difficult to know when he was filled in enough without it looking bare in certain areas or adding too much to it.
Research: Before starting this quilling Niamh did research into what it is that best represents Archangel Michael. All of the elements and colours have been specifically chosen to create Archangel Michael as authentic as possible.
Inspiration: Niamh's inspiration for creating this Quilling piece of Archangel Michael came from her mother. When her grandmother was ill her mother was in their car and the badge for Archangel Michael fell from the mirror into her pocket as she passed away and this gave them all comfort knowing that she was being protected. Niamh created this piece for her mother.
Project Duration: The project started in March 2018 in The Aran Islands and in the end of April 2018.
Operation Flow: Archangel Michael is hanging at the entrance of their guest house to greet everyone that enters their home. The aim is to create an impact as the viewer observes the piece, from this it draws the viewers eye closer to see the details involved.
