Over the last couple of weeks I've managed to find the time to finish the Beaver.
There were several options when it came to the eyes, but in the end I chose a fairly tight and deep design, which I've seen used on several totems.
I decided to leave the platform that separates the figures until I finish all the creatures, and do the final cuts.
So now I've started on the Snowy Owl ....going above the Beaver ....
... Lots of examples here, so I've chosen a fairly simple version which will fit with the story quite well.
The picture on the right is the total so far. Above all this will go the Parrot!
