Etsy review. You can read more at my Etsy store: UsefulFictions

“This. Is. Stunning. I am so in love with this mirror. It is just beautiful and exactly as described. The packaging is exceptional and my mirror arrived in excellent condition considering it's cross country trek. I opened the box in my office and two people walking by audibly gasped at seeing it. Great communication and so worth the wait.” —Amber L. in WA (34” Natural-Tip Quill Mirror)

—Etsy review.

“What a gem! We loved this piece online, but in our home, it is even more spectacular. This was a perfect purchase. And Greg is an artist and a professional. We even asked him for a variation on his product and he accommodated us with no fuss. The quality of the mirror is wonderful. The packaging ensured that we would receive this somewhat delicate piece in pristine condition. Greg communicated with me at every turn. And the turnaround time was completely in line with a bespoke piece. Thank you, Greg.” —Duane A. in NC (33” Dark-Tip Quill Mirror with Convex Glass and Gold Leaf Frame)

—Etsy review

“Oh my goodness, WOW! We love this porcupine quill mirror so much! It's even more spectacular in person, and the packaging is true genius, which allowed it to arrive in absolutely perfect condition. This mirror will give our log home a nice shot of 'zing' and character. Thank you so much for creating this gorgeous work of art for us!” —Debbie and Rich K. in MI (33” Dark-Tip Quill Mirror)

—Etsy review

“It's perfect! I wanted to tell you how impressed my husband was with the packaging. This is coming from a packaging engineer so cheers to you!” —Lily W. in FL (33” Dark-Tip Quill Mirror with Gold Leaf Frame)

Netflix and Quill: Porcupine Mirrors on Display in Red Notice (2021)

Red Notice, which Netflix said was its biggest movie debut of all time (as of 11/2021), features two 37” ivory-tip porcupine quill mirrors. I must admit, seeing mirrors I made in a $200 million budget movie was quite a thrill. Mounting the quill mirrors over aged mirror panels creates a clever doubling effect of the quills when viewed from the side.
