Woodlands Style Quilled Otter Pipe Bag

Chris begins with an otter pelt and decorates the appendages with the zigzag quillwork technique in various colors.

Next, in a display of his skill, Chris uses the multi-quill plaiting technique on the tail. He begins with two porcupine quills and slowly weaves more quills of various colors into the design as he works his way from the tip to the body. As a finishing touch, Chris adds tin cones along the edge of the tail and on the appendages.

This otter pipe bag replica will make a fine addition to any Native American art collection.
