Porcupine Quill Laying Tool

A few years ago, Patrick made and gave me a lovely porcupine quill laying tool. On Wednesday, he gave everyone at our Blue Santa Bead EGA Brandywine Guild outing a porcupine quill for us to make our own. Several of us found toppers to adorn them as he had done. I looked through almost all the drawers in the store and found several beads for my second quill. I didn’t have time to make it then.

I used the smallest black bead wire (No. 2) to attach the small bicone on top of the large black bead. I tied the bead wire off just below the large black bead.

The decorative black bead and the white one below it fit snugly on the end but I used the Super NEW GLUE to really secure them.

Patrick’s gift to me is on top and my new one is on the bottom.
