Quill Loom3109/1

Quill loom. A piece of willow wood is bent into a bow to support the artwork being created. At one end of the willow is attached a short strip of moosehide to which is sewn several cotton threads. Near their opposite ends the threads pierce a small rectangle of cardboard to keep them separated, and are then tied to the other end of the willow. Woven into the threads are porcupine quills dyed multiple colours, creating patterns of 'X's and diamonds on a cream-coloured background. The quills have been cut to a length of approximately 1 cm at the back of the weaving.
