Here's an #InProgress shot from when I was working on the #artefacts:

The finds had been looked at by experts at Amgueddfa Cymru but they were still quite grubby, so my job was to clean and stabilise.

A selection of swan primary feathers that have been drying for years in preparation for use as writing quills. Any recommendations for further preparation before I use a penknife to cut the nib & put them to use?
Need some suitable ink... suggestions please!

Edit: No swans were harmed whilst collecting these feathers.
