What Buyers Are Saying

“The mirror is even more beautiful in person than in the pictures. I can't stop staring at it. Worth every penny!” —Sommer in SC. 26”x30” Dark-Tip Quill Mirror (Etsy review. You can read more at my Etsy store: UsefulFictions)

“What an impressive experience I had with Greg! I sent him a picture of the mirror I wanted and he made it even more beautiful than what I had sent him. I mean, when does something like that happen? I'm a designer and have been dealing with artisans for the last 30 years of my life and I have rarely experienced something like this! Greg gave me a time frame and it was respected and shipping was also great. I highly recommend you do business with Greg. If you are hesitating in any way, don't. You definitely won't regret it. His work of art is worth every penny and very fairly priced for the quality he offers.” —Annick B. in FL. 37” Dark-Tip Quill Mirror (Etsy review)

“Mirror is absolutely stunning!! Love love love! It’s a piece of art that also happens to be a mirror. Greg was very responsive. Shipped quickly and packaging was so well done. Greg’s instructions were exceedingly clear. He is truly in a class of his own. What a pleasure doing business with someone who gets it on every level—I highly recommend.” —Nancy E. in NY. 35” Dark-Tip Quill Mirror (Etsy review)

“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” Ivory-Tip Quill Mirror (Etsy review)

“My experience with Greg exceeded my expectations. I needed this mirror for a deadline and not only did Greg work tirelessly to complete it but it is SO beautiful. There is so much attention and love in his craftsmanship. He was so kind and collaborative. I would order anything from Greg! Could not have been more happy and grateful!” —Claudine M. in CT. 33” Ivory-Tip Quill Mirror (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 (Etsy message)

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.
