The Resting and Friendly Totem Pole

The previous posting I have about a totem pole got a lot of viewers interested.  So, here is another one with distinct differences.

First, the wings are made of hare skin/fur. This gives me more opportunity to shape the wings as I see the character of the totem pole come alive.

Second, I wanted a totem pole “at rest”. After all, standing straight all day long can be tiresome! So, this one is sitting down on a rock, with the legs (hare legs, of course) crossed.

Third, the faces I drew on the deer vertebrae show the various reactions one may have, through facial expressions, when seeing a new person. When a totem pole has many faces, such simultaneous reactions are allowed…

But, it is a friendly totem pole, as it is waiving hello with its left wing.
