Masterpiece Carving! Museum quality Sculpture!
I love the diversity in Seepee's Muskox carvings.
Their colours are rich and usually jewel toned.
Chocolate browns, pumpkin rust, golden yellows and inky blacks.
Seepee carves an exquisite headpiece.
The forehead piece is crushed caribou antler.
The texture of the crushed antler compliments the glossy mirror finish of Ernie's forehead.
Seepee uses the same effect on Ernie's body.
His shoulder hump and back are finished with a gorgeous smooth finish while his lower body and legs are a textured matte finish which resembles the thick hair of a Muskox's coat!
What I find most beguiling about Ernie is his big white innocent eyes and his wide Muskox grin.
All of Seepee's Muskox have this plucky and gregarious.
Their esprit de corps is magnetic!
