I do all my beading either in the car (keeps me from having to pay attention to my husband's driving, thank God)or while I am watching my husband watch tv or sitting thru meetings or waiting in lines or sitting at pow wows. I figure a project will be done when it is done and if it takes weeks or months, that is what it takes. But yes, my gosh, it takes hand numbing work and the years to perfect the skill yet I encourage anyone to do it who has any interest. Yes, it takes us a long time to make this stuff. Then the kids want to play football in it. Yes quills are sharp - but you snip the barb off before you use it. it's also hollow so you can also use it like a long bead if you want.

You are so right about that. I'd never realized that before. But it is very much like the heraldry system in Europe. Fascinating. Thanks Patricia! :) Hi Patricia!

Are they really that sharp. I have some earrings that are quilled, but I didn't know the amount of work that went into them. Amazing. Hi Connie!
