I have been looking for a photograph of this portrait mask of my mother, Karen, for several years

and I just found a slide copy and had it scanned. Thought that I had lost it for good.

A wide Bear Bracelet that was commissioned by a chief

A customer sent me this photograph of a Gold Bear Box with 

abalone inlays and Mastodon Ivory faces, that I made about 20 

years ago. Nice to see it again after so long.
