One of a Kind Colour! Museum quality Carving!
Spinning and dancing on the tip of his tail, this joyous Beluga whale beams with the biggest smile.
TOP OF THE MORNING’S fins are spread wide apart like arms preparing for the biggest hug.
His deep green colour is particularly stunning!
The stone glows from deep inside, as if there is a smoldering fire buried within the whale.
Pits' had so many talents.
He had an ability to find such rare and unusual colours of stone not usually available to Inuit carvers.
And then he could carve the perfect sculpture to show off that stone!
Sadly, Pits passed away in October 2024 while collecting stone for carving.
Each Pits' carving you see in the gallery now is the last of its kind.
There are no stores of his carvings.
Don't regret missing out on one of these precious and joyful Belugas.
