The main bird will also have ears. If you have never seen a mask like this that probably sounds odd, but trust me it works. I can't get my hands on any good cedar bark so I will probably have to use horse hair, rope and raffia to finish it off.

I have also decided what I will work on during the show: A loggerhead tortoise bowl with a lid. The lid will have hitchhikers, perhaps dogfish woman and an octopus.
After this show, I plan one more mostly N.W. Coast style piece. It is something I have been wanting to do for a while. It is a very large sun mask, about six feet in diameter. It will be amusing. I don't want to give it away just yet. It is not traditional, but it still fits the N.W. Coast "playbook" for lack of a better term. After that, I plan to do a couple surreal/abstract pieces.
dad, that is so cool...im not just sayin that, thats really cool
