Holy Smokes what a fantastic video! Imagine how beautiful and exciting these pieces of art would appear during a dance!

I am LIVING for you Tlingit content!!!

So wonderful to have the artist right there to explain her process and thoughts on achieving her masterpieces!

Neat!

"Chillkat" is a cool name. I'm sure there were many super cool Black blues players who had that nickname too, lol. The fringe is so tempting. I'd be playing with it all the time if I had access to this. "There's lots of eyes on these things." 😂 No kidding! The eyes on the body threw me off - the breakdown of the whale's body was so surprising. I like distributive and configurative design! Both have their place and are lovely. 🥰 🫨 The amount of time these take to make is incredible! They're beautiful and worthwhile, but that's an amazing amount of commitment to produce one object. My Jamaican genes won't allow for that kind of patience. Things need to be done yesterday, lol. I can only imagine them worn during dance... Magnificent.
