Public interest in these small carvings
was strong and requests began for these pieces alone, to be used for
jewelry or other ornamentation. Over the years the process has been
further refined and developed, evolving into the unique and
specialized process I use today. Each piece is strong enough to be
worn practically, without unnecessary concern about breakage.
Red Knot
Once
threatened by market hunters, this shore bird of sandy shores
and mud flats, has been recovering.
Red Knots breed on the tundra and winter along both ocean coasts
as far south as South America. Round trip migration for some of
these travelers is as much as 20,000 miles.
Both parents stay with the brood and its is thought that the
males actually do most of the brooding.
