About Archangel Michael Quilling

Äerzengel Michael ass e Framed Quilling Stéck dat den Niamh erstallt huet. Hir Inspiratioun fir dëst Quilling Stéck vum Äerzengel Michael ze kreéieren ass vun hirer Mamm komm. Wann hir Groussmamm ganz krank war, war d'Niamh hir Mamm an hirem Auto an de Badge fir den Äerzengel Michael ass aus dem Spigel an hir Tasche gefall wéi hir Groussmamm gestuerwen ass an dëst huet hinnen all Trouscht ginn ze wëssen datt se geschützt war. D'Zil ass en initialen Impakt ze maachen, wéi de Betrachter d'Stéck beobachtet, aus deem et d'Zuschauer méi no bréngt fir déi betraff Detailer ze gesinn.

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.
