razor-sharp smile...

salmon shark

Two little salmon sharks swimming into the shop today. One is already reserved, but the one above is right here. I used a cotton for the undersides this time, naturally dyed by me with a slight mottled appearance. And I got my hands on some white leather so they have "real" teeth this time. Ragged, ferocious fellows, used to the hard life in the North Pacific Ocean.

---------------------------------------------------------------

We have had some low low tides in the middle of the day this weekend, perfect for beach combing and tide pool exploring. Yesterday AK and I took Ty for a long meander to check out ochre stars, wee crabs and more, all under the watchful eyes of a large crew of eagles also taking advantage of the low tide pickings. The sun has stuck around today, so in a couple hours I think the pup and I will go out again to a slightly different spot and see what we can find. My hopes are on some moon snails...

Hope you're having a great weekend!

Love the Salmon Shark, been waiting for those to be made...out doing flowers for Memorial Day. I would love to go tide pool exploring. What an exciting adventure and so many beautiful sea creatures to see. I hope a salmon shark or two decide to swim their way into the shop soon. DREAM BIG !!!

Oh-my-goodness! This is quite possibly the cutest thing I have ever seen!

Hopefully you had some luck in finding Moon snails?
