It's wonderful here today. The sun is shining, the sky is blue, and it is warm enough to put on a short sleeve tee. Only happens a few times a year in Port Ludlow!
I'm about to create the wire image of a Spirit Bear. I was so moved when I saw the picture on the cover of National Geographic for Aug. 2011. I told Faith Siple (A wonderful supplier of some of my wool) and within days, she had found wool from an Icelandic sheep, that looks exactly like the bear. Now, Spirit Bears roam part of British Columbia and are protected by the First Nation, who have never hunted them. They are white, black bears. Not albinos, but a recessive gene in Black Bears. We both shivered!! I' take some pictures as I go along, and add to this blog. I'm going to try some polyester stuffing to fill out some of the Bear's insides, as suggested by another friend Barbara Emerson who is off fishing, at the moment.
