I love this, I’ve always wanted to know how to do this as I grew up with a mom who loves calligraphy and gave me the same love, also making things by hand is so so calming

So happy you enjoyed the video! 😌 that’s great that your mom passed on her love of calligraphy to you!

I admit it was discouraging to find out it is best to leave a feather to dry for a couple months and it just happened i had one that has been nicely drying for about 8 months but it turned out to have a way too thin of a shaft to use as a quill, but spring has come and i will definitely keep an eye out of for feathers on my walks trough the woods. Thank you for this wonderful guide.

[@folkbiscuits]

That’s a shame about the feather you had already! You could always look into other curing processes using heat when you find another - but otherwise I hope you come back to this video when it’s time to cut the quill into shape! Thanks for watching ☺️

[@XiTheCat]

This is so interesting! I love you're style :)

[@folkbiscuits]

Thank you so much!! ❤️ glad you found it interesting

Weird this popped up because a few days back my student asked me how we could turn my big turkey feathers into quills.

[@folkbiscuits]

What a coincidence! I hope you show this to your student 😊 let us know if you do get around to making a turkey feather quill? 🪶🦃

[@Genn1323]

I'll be in the lookout for feathers now, as the ones I keep seems to be way too thin for this purpose.

[@folkbiscuits]

Best of luck to you in your feather hunting!

[@mysticvampiress]

great video and super underrated! do u think a peacock feather (not the fancy long ones, but just a regular feather) would work?

[@folkbiscuits]

Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed! I think a peacock feather would probably be a bit small so won’t have the best results but you can always give it a go and see!

[@geoffspence8858]

Whose ink do you use? Do you mix black with e.g. Prussian blue? Your letterforms as shown have a lovely color blend.

[@folkbiscuits]

Thank you ☺️ I use Windsor & Newton Inks and find they flow very nicely! I think it was just Ultramarine I used here

[@scrillies1234567]

wouldnt the membrane hold ink?

[@folkbiscuits]

It would yes, but I think it would prevent the smooth flow

​@@folkbiscuits Glad to hear it. You're authentic, and authenticity is the everlasting, unchanging currency. Don't chase views/internet approval; just stay authentic and passionate. Don't pressurize your art, it's fragile. Just put it in the garden and keep away the weeds of doubt and comparison.
