Ed, both the quill work and the bead work are excellent, not to Goddy just clean and not complicated, makes the bags pop. I have the book on quilling (A Quill workers Companion) and is an excellent book. I have dabbled in it but being a carpenter for 40 yrs and flinknapping for 15 sure didn't help with my hand dexterity, but I keep on trying. Need to see if I can find me a roadkill Porky or go on a serious Porky hunt this winter, The quills that I have are pretty picked over: -T Bob
