Hedgehogs are easily recognized by their spines, which are hollow hairs made stiff with keratin. Their spines are not poisonous or barbed and, unlike the quills of a porcupine, do not easily detach from their bodies. However, the immature animal's spines normally fall out as they are replaced with adult spines. This is called "quilling".

Slotted Tool The slotted tool is the most important quilling tool as it makes curling coils much easier and faster.

Fensterstock’s long running series, Third Nature utilized the process of quilling (curling and shaping fine strips of paper that constructive decorative designs) which she combined with material such as Plexiglas and charcoal to create enclosed stand-alone sculptures. After purchasing her first home, Fensterstock was struck by how specific her ideas on how her garden “should” be. This lead Fensterstock to research historic landscape design and theory, how people have interacted with the land through such implements as the Claude Glass, and how people actively shape the land around them. The result of this research is Fensterstock’s series Third Nature that is marked by its “monochromatic iterations of nature and gardens” that are enclosed and contained in various boxes, vitrines, and wall panels.
