Title:
Porcupine Quill Work
Date:
ND
Scope & Content:
Typewritten article describing quill work, including sketches.
The modern artist's outfit is not very extensive, consisting merely of a pouch for holding the quills, a bone marker for tracing the design on the leather or birch-bark, some awls and a knife. There is no reason to believe that the quill workers of earlier days possessed anything more elaborate in the way of tools.
