Continuing onward .. ..

Thanks for the comments Kdog; Yes I'm very proud of not ony the work my sons create; but they stay busy every day (the days pass quickly) they stay out of trouble; They work daily with professional business owners and Native corporations all over this state. The one thing I am most grateful for; They never ever have to go work.. .. for someone else. They are in full control of their life.


























































More photos being processed.. ..

Time to make the different props to be used in this 'scene'.



I see this carving sitting on someone's desk for use as a paperweight perhaps.

Thanks for the comments Jebatu, I made up my mind when I was very young; When I grow up and have children; I wanted them to be totally independent, I will take the time to teach them how easily this is accomplished. I spoke only 5 sentences to them in July of 2004 in Kotzebue; The rest is history.




1. Slice a piece of ivory 1/4" thick

2. Draw a shape and cut it out.

3. Drill all the pieces

4. String it up

5. Polish all the pieces.
