 p.1 #11 · Arctic Models @ 30 below zero! | |
Thank you Steve, and everyone else !
Inupiaq Eskimo carvings are sought world wide. The demand grows larger every year.
As far as the price of my prints.. post-cards, note-cards and such, I am not greedy, and that is one of the reasons for my huge success.
I do not want to sell a few large framed matted / signed numbered prints for 200 -500 dollars each, I would much rather sell many tens of thousands of them @ 20 bux each !!
Back to topic: Arctic models: not quite what you or anyone else expected I bet, but I needed / wanted a title, to draw people into this thread.
and the People section seemed just the right place to show off these, "Inupiaq Eskimo models" .. .. in a setting of their natural habitat.
It sorta gives you something to think about, the next time you sit down to eat supper, or do the dishes !!
Delicious hot food, served 3 - 5 times each and every day, sit, eat, wait and watch, 24/7 right here. for two months !!!
But someone has to do the dishes, clean the cups. people are thirsty !
How do you think, we get delicious fresh drinking water, 7 miles out on a frozen salt water ice pack  We melt snow for washing dishes and cleaning, but snow, .. tastes yuk, no matter what you mix it with.
but for delicous fresh drinking water, (700+ people are out here,) that requires a lot of water for drinking & cooking !! Where ? how ? Yes fresh water frozen ice can be transported out here, on sleds, but that is way too much work.
Take any large piece of ice and stand it up, brush the snow off the top and most of the sides, now wait,
As the sun beats down on that piece of ice, in time it will become clear, the longer ou wait, the more of that ice becomes crystal clear, in other words, you can actually watch the salt settle in that piece of frozen ice. Now walk over with your kettle and ice pick and chop that ice horizontally from the top down for a small section, and let the sun do its job !! We can speed up this process by placing that piece of ice on sand.
INUPIAQ TECHNOLOGY: "time tested for many thousands of years" !
Happy happy people, that never complain about anything !!
