Archangel Michael
Archangel Michael is a Framed Quilling piece that Niamh created. Her inspiration for creating this Quilling piece of Archangel Michael came from her mother. When her grandmother was very ill, Niamh's mother was in their car and the badge for Archangel Michael fell from the mirror into her pocket as her grandmother passed away and this gave them all comfort knowing that she was being protected. The aim is to create an initial impact as the viewer observes the piece, from this it draws the viewers eye closer to see the details involved.
