Yesterday (my first free day in weeks) I was so was lucky to have learned the Mi`kmaq tradition of quill decoration. I have treasured my quill baskets from Saskatchewan, and was so excited to learn a new craft.
It as a wonderful experience to have been taught by the artist Tara. Such a cozy and relaxing afternoon spent at her studio.
The quill art was super addictive. It was such a neat process, and a great chance to be creative medium.
Only problem is that it is hard to call up Mary Maxim for the supplies! I will now be hunting roadkill for my quills!!!
