NOW:
I'll regroup for the next doll.
Clean up my work area, put away all the tools and supplies.
Decide what is scrap and what is usable.
Put Kiviuq away and pull the next doll.
I am getting deep into the inventory for my gallery exhibit next spring; 3 down and 12 - 15 to go!
- With, matching wall hangings.
Stay tuned for a lot of fun.

He's done! and, I am pleased.
From the land of the midnight sun: "KIVIUQ" The Eternal Wanderer was lost in a snow storm and has wanderer the arctic to get back home to wife and family.
He is wise and brave; travels by dog sled, kayak and snow shoes, fighting monsters and giants along the way, with the help of his spirit guides.
He is turning to stone from the curse of a witch. He must return home before he is completely turned or - his people will perish.
- An Inuit folk tale.
