Fantastic etching marks (feathers and wings). 

This is a beautiful sequence of loons floating together along a creek. The multiple elements of caribou antler, and argelite stone contrast beautifully together which gives it a strong presence. When put together in a collage like this, the carving is rather large and impressive.

The beautiful detail seen, with the green stone and beautiful etchings on the backs really make these loons come alive. I paid particular attention to the perfect lines and curves. Its a delightful piece, especially with Jerry's signature red eye.
