Wow! This is really amazing! "Starry Night" by Vincent Van Gogh is our ultimate favorite painting... and also the artist! That's why our business was named Artist Madhouse... It's so fascinating =)

I just purchased a quilled version of this painting at the NAQG (North American Quilling Guild) Conference that was held in Lancaster, Pennsylvania this year. I love it and I love yours as well!

WOW! You have done a fabulous job with this; it is simply gorgeous!!! I love all the different shapes and density of your rolls - it adds so much texture and depth to the piece. And you have really captured the movement in the swirls - it's like the stars are all tumbling around up there. And your eye for color in all the different hues is excellent. I am dazzled, and you should be SO proud of this!! Thank you for sharing - seeing wonderful things like your piece always gets me motivated to make time to create. :) LoriAnn

Thank you so much! The work took approximately one month to complete. I am entering it in a local art contest in September. If it is not accepted, it will go up for sale at that time. Most likely through my Etsy store.
