Quilling Card - Artist Series - Quilled Irises, Van Gogh Greeting Card

Irises is one of a series of still life paintings Vincent Van Gogh made after checking himself into Saint Paul-de-Mausole asylum in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, France, in the last year before his death in 1890. Drawing inspiration from the garden within the asylum, Vincent masterfully captured their beauty by contrasting the lush bouquet over a vibrant background. The Irises were purple in the original painting, but the red pigments faded turning them into the iconic blue we know today. 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.
