Crazy for Quilling

I love the art of quilling and one of these days, like many things I want to try, this is one of the techniques I'd like to give a whirl, no pun intended. Here are some beautiful examples of quilling from a fellow Etsy and EFA member, EnsorcelledMinds. I think I especially love the little dragon.
