About Archangel Michael Quil

大天使邁克爾（Michael Angel）是尼亞姆（Niamh）創作的鑲框羽毛筆。她創作此《天使大天使》 Quilling作品的靈感來自她的母親。當祖母病重時，Niamh的母親在他們的車裡，而當祖母去世時，大天使邁克爾的徽章從鏡子上掉到了她的口袋裡，這讓他們都感到安慰，因為她知道她受到了保護。目的是在觀看者觀察作品時產生初步的影響，由此使觀看者更加靠近以查看所涉及的細節。

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.
