Members ChuckBurrows Posted December 30, 2008 Author Members Report Posted December 30, 2008 Too much snow and too much work to get done kept me from getting back soonly - glad ya'll enjoyed the looks see and the very kind words - this type of work is my real "passion" these days........... You have a lot of BEAUTIFUL items on your web site. WOW!Is the Knifesheath-Quilled_Ioerger_1 quilled? Would you adopt me, LOL, I want to learn from you? Howdy - yep that one and a couple of others are quilled. If you're interested in quilling I'd start with the www.nativetech.org site - they have the basic info and several good books are listed as well - William Orchard's is pretty much a must have and I like Jean Heinbuch's too. There are some fairly significant tribal/are style and color differences so if you really want to get into you'll need to do some research - there are several good on line sites that can help and a bunch of books. To do quill or beadwork for that matter, you're going to need some braintan, which is expensive, or a good and less expensive alternative is the German Tan from www.crazycrow.com. If you decide to go the braintan route let me know and I can recommend some folks who do it "right". For quills I recommend to start with the pre-dyed quills from Crazy Crow or Moscow Hide and Fur www.hideandfur.com - you'll still have to separate the quills and clip the barbs, but it gets you started right off - I recommend just doing a bunch of practice pieces using the various stitches - spend a good deal of time on the basic stitches first to get the feel of working with the little buggers........good luck and if I can help just give a shout out to me here........
