Paper Quilling

Sabeena Karnik is an artist living in Mumbai India. She specializes in paper art, especially the technique of paper quilling. I love her use of colour.

Sabeena sells her creations and also does commissioned work. See more on her webpage and her Facebook Page.

We can really appreciate the works of Sabeena Karnik who is a true professional.
