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.
