You need something done, he's the guy that figures out how to do it.

I have lots more photos to post of techniques and tricks these natives use to create their work.

Hundreds of natives all over the state of Alaska use this method (arts & crafts) as there only means to generate an income.

Moving along to show you how simple this is; Working with baleen is simple. It is inexpensive and a good way to start to make bracelet pieces or -ear-rings OR - the many other zillions of different things that can be made using this substance.



Marking out the simple shapes on piece of baleen to be but into bracelet pieces w/matching ear-rings.



















Right now; we work with what we have.. which is not much - but we are able to do the work. it just takes 3 times longer. Soon we will have all our tools back - brand new.





This is the shop we will be setting up in this same bedroom. No this is not a photograph. It is a 3D drawing made in 3D studio Max.



The assembly line for today's work in progress;




Same simple steps day in and day out.
