Beau sent me another update photo of the #DugoutCanoe that some students at Wellington high school in #Nanaimo are working on. It's almost all finished. Lots of sanding done & just a bit more to do.

High-angle, medium shot of a light-colored, sculpted wooden fish placed diagonally across a gray concrete surface. The fish is carved with stylized red crescent shapes along its top edge, some filled with black. It rests on wood scraps amid wood shavings, with a dark, circular storm drain and cover positioned on the right side of the frame. The composition emphasizes texture contrast between the wood grain. The wood carvings contrast against the concrete. The sculpture is partially in shadow with good lighting on the overall form.

Medium shot of a carved, unfinished wooden dugout cedar canoe. The canoe is the primary focus, positioned horizontally in the foreground and running the length of the picture. The ground is splattered with wood shavings. The background includes a picnic table on the left with a log laid across it, plants, and a modern building with reflective windows. The lighting is overcast, with cool tones dominating the scene. The composition emphasizes the craftsmanship of the canoe against the backdrop of a contemporary school environment.

Nothing like some #happymail to brighten a gloomy, windy day ☺️. Thanks, #powwowbling! (They don't seem to have a Fediverse account so I'm creating a hashtag for them instead. 😜)

Now to decide what to make first with some of these colors πŸ€”.

#beads #shopnative #shopindigenous
Two boxes placed side by side that are filled with tubes and bags of beads. The boxes have windows, and a peak inside reveals tubes of warm colored beads in one and a bag of iridescent, dark purple bicones in the other. On top of the boxes are a pretty sunflower sticker that came with the order along with a business card for the business I ordered from (Powwow Bling).
