Artist Series - Quilled Great Wave, Hokusai Greeting Card

The Great Wave off Kanagawa is one of the most iconic works of art of its time. The woodblock print was created by the Japanese artist, Hokusai, during the Edo period around 1831. Mount Fuji can be seen in the background depicted very small in comparison to emphasize the magnitude of the spiraling and foaming tidal wave. This work of art is thought to have inspired many other artists' works throughout history and remains one of the most common art recreations to this day. 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.
