Just found this Channel and I'm subscribing. I've been a quill worker through F&I reenacting for about 12 years now. I have some birch bark but I have not attempted it. Thanks so much for this tutorial! We're never too old to learn

my old stomping ground - west Texas. a lot of porcupine -was taught to throw a blanket on one as ther go by. they shoot quills and run off then push quills through blanket.

@StockmanOriginal Жыл бұрын

That’s a brilliant technique Skye, l do a similar thing with my hat, you get the best quills that way. Unfortunately they seem to blend in with the road and a lot get killed that way, that’s my usual source. Not the best, the nice long white ones are usually all busted.

Once again guys, a great and informative video really makes you appreciate the patience needed to undergo something like that fishing basket 🤯

Enjoyed your video on the quill work. Used to do powwow circuit as crafters but never got into the quill work.

@StockmanOriginal 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you, l have always been interested in that side of my family’s history. As far as the pipe goes, l do top shelf work which takes time and can get pricey, but if you have an idea of what you would want to spend, maybe l could work with that.

@bear-wolfandmscathy626 2 жыл бұрын

@@StockmanOriginal do you have an email I could send my idea to? It's nothing real fancy but I know supplies and your time are valuable. Right now on my fixed income I'm thinking $150 but could probably be more flexible in the near future. Hoping to find something to replace a personal ceremonial pipe I no longer have.

I would like to know how to make a nine point star in quill, thinking doing it on bark would be the way to go. Thanks for your videos, been watching a few to get me started.

@StockmanOriginal 5 ай бұрын

Hello Hilton, thank you for checking us out! I’m not sure bark would be the best option. Though it would work well for some of the points, others would be lined right up with the grain of the bark causing it to split out. My pick would be deerskin and stitch it down . I would also make a pattern out of paper. You might try looking up Shawn Webster, he’s in our facebook group and does amazing quill work.

I love this technique, even tho i dont have the bark to learn on. Im learning how to use quill in earrings would like to learn on leather as well. Thank you for your video you & max seem it look so easy...lol do u think you can make a video on working with dearhide quilling? Thank you for letting me be a part of your tribe.

@StockmanOriginal 2 жыл бұрын

Sherene, we are so happy to have you in our tribe!! We do have a beginner video on quilling with deer hide. Just flip through our menu. We’re going to do one on birch bark containers soon, as well. If you would like some birch bark, l’ll bet it could happen.

Also a way to get the bark ready for bending or flattening what is a easier way with out soaking the bark use a damp cloth towel laid over the peace and use a iron to steam it by going over it try it. It works really quick and helps with controlling the moisture

Hey Joshua, that’s a great idea! I will try that! See, this learning thing is a two way street, thank you.

@chuckwaltrip7020 2 жыл бұрын

New to the channel, but instant subscriber-much appreciate the content I’ve seen so far! My question relates to longevity of this type of artwork, since once rehydrated, it would seem that some of the quills may slip, even if previously pressed. Any experience in coating it in a light oil to prevent this? Is it just a non-issue that I’m overthinking? Also, how well does your “homemade” drinkable dye recipe hold up without rub off (sweaty regalia and clothing decorations specifically)?

@StockmanOriginal 2 жыл бұрын

Hello Chuck, welcome to our tribe!!! It’s great to have you along. In answer to your questions, when you poke the hole through it opens more like a slit and then closes back in on the quill kinda clamping it in place so it holds pretty good. But l probably wouldn’t use this decoration on things that were going to see a lot of water. As for the Kool aid dye, l decorated the back of my hat with quills dyed with it and it held up really well, but I would test it for your self. Those were good questions, l hope l answered them well.
