Inukshuk Builders?
Quoted text begins.It's raining out and while I try to motivate myself to go outside I
figured I would see if there are any other Inukshuk builders on this list.
End of quote.
the INUKSHUK:
totemic figures made of dry stacked stone by the Inuit and Eskimo
peoples of Canada and Alaska. they served to heard reindeer, as
landmarks, for companionship in a lonely land and, not least, as
opportunities for creative expression.
Greg, hi
ah, the anthropomorphilithic fascination of assembling inukshuks.
I've also been "infected" by this playful and challenging pastime.
to see a few of these stone creatures visit the Stonework Symposium
2006 page at http://www.stonefoundation.org.
to see many of them, come to Hood River, Oregon in September.
at the Symposium there will be an inukshuk building event.
Tomas
Quoted text begins.the long "arm" stone came from the
Stone Foundation mason course held in Charleston NC, first going to St.
Louis then on to Ottawa Canada.
End of quote.
