Quilling: hundreds of circles... my paper art practice

Описание: I often talk about the conscious creating process — the kind that pushes you not to fall into monotonous, repetitive actions or stay in a comfortable routine. Instead, it encourages you to pause regularly, assess your progress, and introduce something new into every part of the artwork you're working on.
That said, there are some projects that, by design, allow you to enter a calm, meditative state — simply repeating the same easy action over and over. At least for a big portion of the process, this can let your mind relax.
I know many people use techniques like paper quilling for exactly that reason. And I can definitely feel the benefits of such practice myself. But in my own work, I tend to use it only during certain stages of the creative process.
In a way, I combine both methods: I plan the design and decide which areas can be done without too much thinking (although it’s not really about thinking — it’s more about focused observation of how the artwork is developing, to choose the best next steps.)
Then there are moments when it becomes essential to stop, look at the whole piece, and shift direction if needed. The closer I get to finishing the work, the more often I pause and observe the creation as a whole.
