This is what a 13 hour day looks like for me. Can you believe this is all from one porcupine?
I started early in the morning by cleaning the quills in the tub, it took three long washes and rinses. Then it was time to dye!
Quills harvested by Janice Simon from Elsipogtog.

I spent the last two days making myself a new quilled medallion and love it so much! I just have to add my rope but I wanted to take a picture of it first.
I'm excited to wear it at the 2024 International Indigenous Tourism Conference in Ottawa this week.

My family in Lisbon Maine is sheltered in place while the manhunt continues for the shooter. They found his vehicle at the end of my family’s road. Please pray for Maine and that they catch this monster.

If you would’ve told me 15 years ago my life would be like this, I wouldn’t believe you. A single mother of 2 autistic children, a quill artist, business woman and 5 years sober during a effin pandemic! I love my life and how far I’ve come 💙 I’m feeling so grateful 🥰

The police came and checked on me after an incident a few weeks ago because wouldn’t answer their calls and they were worried about me. 🥹 I cried because this has never happened. Indigenous women rarely get follow ups or check ins. I thanked the officer and cried. be the change
