Quilling
.
These candles are maybe 1" tall or so, including the flame. I added her book to my Amazon wish list, then looked more closely at it and took it off. I guess her other work is nice, but those googly eyes on everything doesn't suit me.
Jacqueline Lee is a quilling artist I saw on a Carol Duvall Show I watched yesterday. She made a bunch of birthday stuff that was cute, but not cutesy.
I made some balloons while watching her (these are hers, not mine) so I'd remember how. I need a little more practice but they are lots of fun.
These strips of paper are 1/8" wide so this cake isn't much more than 1" tall, I bet. Look at those tiny candles! You know how I loves teeny tiny.
Check out this Victorian fan I found while poking around online. This is from a book by Jane Jenkins. Mighty impressive.

That Victorian fan is gorgeous. I also like those balloons!
The balloons are my favorite! What is quilling? (Yes, I am very UN-crafty!)
Yowsa. That's some tiny little rolls of paper. Beautiful work, tho!
Wow. Cool looking cards. Don't think my eyes would let me work that small.
The fan gives a good idea of what can be done with quilling.
Seems much like jewelry they used to call filigree. Is that the same only with thin strips of silver, lightly soldered ?
