Placed on hiking trails and along roadsides, the stones said to me, &quot;You are not alone…you&#39;re on the right path…&quot; <br /><br />Inukshuk (pronounced in-uk-shook) are found in northern Canada. These man-sized piles of stones were placed by the Inuit people to serve as directional markers on the open tundra. <br /><br />Inspired by the stone markers and with my warped sense of humor, I put these sets together partly to comment on modern marketing (sometimes the packaging is more interesting than the contents) and partly to communicate the idea that we&#39;re not alone on this crazy journey! <br /><br />Now you can build your own mini inukshuk with this handy kit! Comes packaged in an attractive 3.75&quot;x3.75&quot;x1&quot; kraft paper box with clever labels on top, bottom and inside. Limited edition! Each set is numbered and includes complete instructions (with diagrams!) and a brief description and history of inukshuk.<br /><br />Desktop Inukshuk kit includes 4 carefully hand-picked Minnesota pebbles (may contain genuine Lake Superior stones). Each set has been carefully tested to ensure that the stones can be balanced. <br /><br />Find your Balance…Peace through Patience…Celebrate Connectivity…Leave no stone unturned…<br /> http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=13539856 Fri, 02 Oct 2009 12:27:09 -0400 8.00 http://ny-image1.etsy.com/il_155x125.32521369.jpg new 4 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=17275902 <img src="http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_155x125.44757034.jpg" /><br /> $12.00<br /> This nature print was made by inking immature leaves and seeds of a box elder (ash leaf maple or Acer negundo) and then pulling a print directly from the plant onto mulberry paper. I apply the ink with a brush and blend the pigments to give depth to the final print. The finished print is signed with both my chop and my initials in pencil. No two nature prints are the same—each is an original impression.<br /><br />The paper measures 6&quot;x4.5&quot; and the image size is 4.25&quot;x4&quot;.
