My friend really wanted a pair of dangly earrings with "sailor" colors (red, blue & white). I got lazy and wanted to try something other than Comanche stitch with fringe, so I decided to make loops with porcupine quills!

I also used buckskin to stabilize the design, which is really hard to poke through with a needle (ended up breaking a few needles in the process). I really like how they turned out:
I decided to make my other friend (the one who got the first pair I ever made) a pair since the others weren't very nice-looking. I used pink & baby blue beads to match her blue eyes:

$10/pair
