Stripped quills.

[esoxlucius]

Anyone know a good supplier which sells stripped peacock quills or the peacock itself.
thanks.

Would it not be cheaper to buy the peacock quills and strip them yourself, if you don't want to do that then Phil at Spidersplus does them.

Pearly Dabbler - Bill Macllroy sells some really nice Peacock eyes that you strip yourself..in a variety of colours including Picric...ideal for your olives and buzzers etc...

And there strong so don't snap when you touch them.

To strip them just rub an eraser over them a few times...but not too hard and you'll be left with the quill (an ink eraser...blue part is best as it's slightly abrasive)

Esox,

pm me your address and Ill post ya wee bag of peacock,to get ya started, ive loads, mate.. The estate, where my daughter goes horse riding, has loads of peacocks and im lucky enough to get a few feathers every now & then.

Like Rob says, best to use an eraser (slightly abrasive). Also I gently use my finger and thumb nails to help strip.

I got some peacock eyes from Artifly recently - lovely colours, and a decent amount.
