Paper Bloom — Quilling Art Portrait

Create a dimensional paper-quilling portrait of an adult woman, constructed from tightly rolled and gently curved strips of colored paper. Preserve a readable facial silhouette and thoughtful expression through layered contours. Build hair from flowing coils in teal, coral, ivory, and gold, with progressively smaller details around the eyes. Present the artwork on a warm white backing board viewed nearly straight on. Light from the upper left so every raised paper edge casts a consistent delicate shadow. Keep the craft physically plausible, with visible paper thickness and clean joins rather than melted or metallic surfaces. OUTPUT: Use a vertical 4:5 composition. If a reference photograph is provided, preserve the adult subject’s recognizable facial features and natural proportions. Avoid extra fingers, duplicated features, distorted accessories, plastic skin, watermarks, logos, and accidental text. The preview image is an inspiration reference; results may vary.
