This 2016 Love series stamp features an elegant heart created using the ancient art of quilling. Quilling — also called paper filigree — involves rolling and shaping narrow strips of paper, laying them on their edges, and gluing them in place to form intricate designs. The heart shape in the center of the stamp art is made from paper strips of many colors and is surrounded by white paper swirls. The background is white with shadows cast by the dimensional pieces of quilled paper. Quilling has shifted in and out of popularity since the 13th century and has been used to decorate everything from frames to furniture.
