My family also loved loons and they became the subject of many of my earliest carvings. The loon became my mascot and is pictured on both of my catalogs. I made my first catalog in 1978 and it is still in use today.
To the Passamaquody Indians the loon was a messenger between humans, animals and the great spirit. When people became greedy, they stopped listening and learning from the animals. This made the loon sad which is why to this day he has such a sad call, different from any other.
My Blog is now dedicated to sharing information on loons and the other birds and animals that inspire my handmade leather products. Each month the blog posts will follow a different theme.
Below you will find links to the current articles. In 2020 I focused on sharing information on loons. In 2021 the focus will be the Butterflies and Birds related to the collections I will be creating this year. I hope you will join me on my adventure.
