Great White Chert Shark

Since the last post, I finished notching 37 Recent Indian corner notched points.  Here's a picture of them shaped like a shark.  Its a great white shark.

Which reminds me of The White Stripes: Under Great White Northern Lights.  If you haven't heard this album or seen the accompanying documentary of their cross Canada tour in 2007, then you are sadly missing out.  Lori and I went to their concert when they were here in St. John's and it was amazing.  The DVD captures alot of the magic of that show.

Which reminds me of The Novaks, who opened for them while they were here.  The Novaks are releasing a new EP, Big World, on April 20th.  In the meantime you can listen to the new tracks streaming online.  I think Sooner or Later is my favourite new track.

Great White Red Shed

Which reminds me that I should get back to work, because Janet Davis, the big sister of The Novaks' vocalist, Mick Davis, is waiting on her wholesale jewelry order of Recent Indian necklaces for Norton's Cove Studio.  Which means that I have to disassemble the shark and head out into the great white north - it actually snowed in St. John's overnight and this is what my workshop looks like this morning.  Which makes me think of how nice Canada's west coast would be.

Disassembling sea creatures and thinking about the west coast reminds me of a really cool write-up this morning at Northwest Coast Archaeology called No Guts No Glory which explores some of the wonders of inflated seal intestines and the parallels between the archaeology of Canada's Pacific and Atlantic coasts.... and Elfshot.
