Delightful movement!
Bullet is one of those small bears that you would think was large if you hadn't seen his measurements!
I have the greatest admiration for Inuit carvers who can accomplish this feat!
It is very difficult to carve details like ears, individual fingers and toes and CLAWS for a three inch sculpture.
Isaaci's powerful Diving bear is as magnificent as a medium or large bear.
His courageous spirit is evident on first glance.
His lines and proportions are perfect.
Petaulassie, Pootoogook, Papigatok, Mathewsie, and Samayualie..
The small Dancing and Diving bear carvers never fail to bring us awe inspiring works of art.
