Found: old sketches, stretches and salal drum

I have kept notebooks off and on for many years...so, while I did not "find" these sketches at the recycling depot they are Recycled from my own debris cache...from the early '90s, revamped over 10 years ago and surfacing here, a few images from the notebook "The Steppe Beyond" -  background studies for a book of transformation tales that never quite morphed into print.

The bear...Old Man of the Woods...Grandfather was and is a haunting image from so many cultures...sketched here with one of my time keeping assemblages using bones and wood and copper.

Drumming...on and near the edge of magic. watching the games in Sochi brought these images to mind.

Xalibu moon

sketch from the warrior Kulyoog  tale

left over yule...or bath junk labels

Mia and I thought it would be a great idea, well, a cheap idea...well actually a quick cheap...anyway we got some stinky stuff together and made up some bombs and salts for people we actually do love and respect but gave these to them any way - the best part was making the labels! 
Sand:  Orange, Anise, Cinnamon & Lemongrass

Hope you liked the rosemary and lemony bits stuck around your tubs.
We are pretty good at one offs so don't think these will show up again.
