Trophy: Handmade Quilled Congratulations Greeting Card
"They won something. Give them something worth keeping on the shelf."
Every coil placed by hand
Ships flat in a rigid box
Replaced if damaged
Some wins deserve more than a text message. Trophy is a handmade quilled congratulations greeting card, a gold championship cup with two open handles and a red star, standing on a brown base against plain white. The cup is built from long paper strips looped and fanned by hand, the same way the whole card is made, one strip at a time in our studio in Jaffna.

Story
The design and the moment.
01
The design
The bowl is the technique worth looking at closely. Long strips are looped and fanned from a single point at the stem, so the fluting is real depth rather than printed shading. The base is packed with coils stood on edge. Everything on the card is shaped paper except the star, which is cut.
02
The moment
For wins with an actual trophy behind them and wins without one. A league title, a season that finally went right, a sales target, a school championship. It is the loudest card in the catalog, which suits a moment that deserves to be loud, and the inside stays empty for the quieter part.

Primary specialist on this card
Every Vonderly card is built by 2 to 3 specialists working in sequence. The artisan below led the work on this one.
I work on the figures and characters. My style is shape-based, so the posture has to carry the character. Getting a small figure to read correctly is harder than it looks, and I redo them often.
