Determined!
A seasoned climber, ROCKY slowly pulls himself up the rock face.
His left paw is hooked on a shard of limestone projecting from the cliff.
His left foot is searching for a safe place to land..
Adamie has lightly etched the stone (removing a very thin layer exposing the unfinished stone) between Rocky's claws.
This process uses the contrast between the finished stone and the unfinished stone to create the claws!
Beautiful and clever.
These petite pieces (whether they be Inuit carvings, dolls or any decorative art) are sought after by large numbers of collectors.
It is astounding the amount of talent it takes to meticulously carve these "tiny" bears.
In the Gallery, we often partner these tiny bears together.
Suddenly, an energy exists between the bears which is endearing and joyful.
