Carol Southern said...

Oh, I didn't think it was going to be shown on the blog. A bit of a shock for me. Thanks so much anyhow Silke and thank you everyone for your lovely comments.

It's known as Parchment craft, and yes Pergamano is actually a brand of tools books etc, but a lot of people seem to call this craft Pergamano craft. Lots of info on the web on this craft.
Cheers
Carol

Parchment Craft is an ancient craft that is being revived. I have done some of this and the finished product is always beautiful. Hmmm, I need to drag out my stash and revisit this craft.

Silke, it's hard to find words that haven't already been used to describe how wonderful this card is! Amazing work, true talent. You are lucky to have a friends who loves you enough to put in this much time and talent. Just lovely.

Allison said...

This is so beatiful. I too would love to see how she did this technique.

PatsyB said...

The card is truly a work of art! It is Pergamano or as some call it, Parchment. It is much more difficult than you might think. I should know since I have been trying to teach myself this craft for about a year! I still haven't make anything I would allow out of my craft room! Carol is an absolute artist in the truest sense! Beautiful and you must be very special to have received this gift.

WOW! This is drop-dead gorgeous. What an amazing card. I purchased a Pergamano kit, but I have been afraid to try it. It looks so difficult, but this makes it all worth while. The detail is fantastic! It is stunningly beautiful and look so elegant and formal.
