Victorious trip to Charlevoix County area in Michigan. Yep that is a porcupine that failed to cross the road safely. I heard the Athabascans gather quills this way so I sacrificed a towel that will never touch my body again. I now have more quills to create jewelry with.
I say porkie lives on thru my creations 😁

These pieces were designed to be worn out to dinner last night. I also made a similar set to bring along to Holidazzle.

Here I am in the air bnb shipping container! It's very nice inside. I'm sipping coffee to get the creative juices flowing. Madge is still grumpy because I almost forgot her 😬 More quill jewelry coming soon.

There are three pairs of porcupine quill earrings in my showcase. These were created last month in Norfolk Virginia

Just to give the quill earrings a little bit something extra, six pairs toured a Battleship with me 😁
These earrings will be on Etsy. The rest will go to Holidazzle but I'll happily bring them to the salon if you want to see them.
