Valentine Gift Box - Parchment Art

Valentine Box
 
Parchment Art (Pergamano) is 15th Century Art which has now been revived by Norwegian Artist and branded as Pergamano. Embossing, stippling, perforating, colouring and cutting of vellum paper are elements associated with Parchment Art, isn’t exciting?
 
This incredible vellum art is widely utilized for crafting various kinds of cards. This technique is used on picture frames, bookmarks and even sculptural paper work as well. 
With the help of coloured pencils, the parchment art can be taken to next level.

This art involves many skills like tracing, embossing, painting and perforating with special scissors. Tools for these skills are also produced by Pergamano Company and Parchment Craft Australia (PCA). 
 
I learnt this art in 2002 in Pune through one of those classified art class advertisements. Though, later I learnt that the lady was not registered teacher (She certainly had the skills - but never gave the certification exam).
 
I made a fan - wall decor under her supervision in India, but later kept on finding more free patterns from Pergamano website to pursue my own art.

This box was created in 2008 by using a free pattern provided on the Pergamano website.

  1. Hello Miss Crafty. First thank you for becoming one of my followers and welcome.
    I am pleased to see your interest in the ancient parchment craft. I stand to be corrected but the craft is called parchment work and in fact Pergamano is just the name of a manufacturer of tools, patterns etc not the name of the craft. Another famous manufacturer of parchment tools etc is Parchment Craft Australia known as PCA. There is a Parchment Guild of which I am a member which aims to promote all things parchment and does set examinations in the craft which can be taken by anyone who is a member of the Guild.
    The craft takes many years to learn well and I have now been working on my skills for almost 4 years.
    Best wishes
