ABC Wednesday - Q is for Quills

ABC Wednesday is once again here - the focus this week is Q.

This week I chose Q is for quills - as in porcupine quills.

Several years ago I took a Porcupine quill basketry course and created a small basket decorated with dyed porcupine quills. The result was lovely but I couldn't believe how long it actually took to make - 2 and a half days!


(The flower on top represents the trillium - Ontario's flower emblem.)

It is quite an art to create with quills and with a bit of practice, quite fun.
