In this video: I'm working on the Tlingit masks I brought back from Alaska.Since I've been back I had to catch up on computer work, uploads, blog writing etc. Now it's time to lay down some paint, finish carving and adding some formline. Oh! the life of creating art. Today is Native American Day. I think it should be on a different day in November, Not Black Friday Sales Day Extravaganza.

In this video: Native American Day the day after Thanksgiving. More known as Black Friday for decades. I use to work a city job. Cities, Counties and Federal jobs Already had the Day after Thanksgiving off, besides it being called Black Friday and the biggest shopping day of the year. Anyways my Rant is this. When the goverment gave the Native Americans a Day to call their own, like a Holiday! They didn't want to make another Holiday in November since it's Native American Month. No they chose a Day that a lot of people already had off. Has anyone noticed that Black Friday "Over Shadows" native american day! Wow! Another insult to the First Nations People. I spent my morning going to work out at the "Y" this morning.....A Great way to start the day for sure! .

In this video: Native American Month and carving Tlingit Masks continued. I'm Finding My Way alright. So I went ahead and carved the lip area on the left side of the mask. I save the eyelid line on the left side of the mask for this video. As it is it took 10 minutes and 31 seconds for just this part. It would be at least a 45 minutes video to show carving the mouth area on either side, making the outer sides of mouth shorter, and that's not carving the eyelid line. So I hope you enjoy seeing some of the process. I know I do. "Finding My Way" and "Carving Out My Future One Chip At A Time". Until the next video. Have a Great day.

In this video: Native American Month and carving Tlingit Masks is a big part of my life. So I have this mask that I have been prepping like I always do. I'm Finding My Way..............So I'm taking a closer look at facial features and made some changes to the face to make it look more balanced. I like the way it's turning out. This mask has it's own challanges, and that's part of the beauty of working with wood, each piece is different, yet the same.

In this video: Native American Month and carving Tlingit Masks is a great way to spend my time. I remember when my family belonged to Tlingit dance groups over the years. We would be invited to perform at many different venues schools etc. Anyways back to the video. I'm using an adze to remove some wood on the forehead area. Getting it ready to draw some formline on it and paint/carve etc. I may also use a straight knife to help get the surface where I want it. All a part of the process.

In this video: Celebrating Native American Month by continuing the Traditions of my Ancestors. I chose to learn carving, and through carving I'm devloping my own style within the Tlingit art form. Each artist developes their own signature of how they carve lets say like facial features. The Eyes, Nose can be something other people will notice at first glance of a piece of art a certain artist creates. This is True in most cases as an artist pursues their passion as the years go by. Right now I'm spending my time creating Tlingit masks, which is also Native American masks, Kaasteen's Grandmother - Red Cedar Carved Mask: https://www.fredfulmernativeart.com/collections/native-carved-masks/products/kaasteens-grandmother-red-cedar-carved-mask Spirit of Glacier Bay Mask - Red Cedar Carved Mask: https://www.fredfulmernativeart.com/collections/native-carved-masks/products/copy-of-chookaneidee-devilfish-mask-composite-patina-replica Chookaneidee Devilfish Mask - Composite Patina Replica 3D Print: https://www.fredfulmernativeart.com/collections/native-carved-masks/products/chookaneidee-devilfish-mask-composite-patina-replica Chookaneidee Devilfish Mask - Bronze Native Mask Replica: https://www.fredfulmernativeart.com/collections/native-carved-masks/products/chookaneidee-devilfish-mask-replica Visit Fred Fulmer's Online Store: https://www.fredfulmernativeart.com Visit Fred Fulmer's Official Website: https://www.fredfulmertlingitartist.com Follow Fred Fulmer Tlingit Artist on Social Media: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/fredfulmernativeart Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fredfulmernativeart TikTok:https//www.tiktok.com/hunakaa_1 fredfulmer #fredfulmernativeartist, #piatribal #anv #hiatribe #hiatribe #nps #alaskanmasks #raven

In this video: This Raven head piece is a piece I carved back in the 1990's. I remember the special connection one gets through the process of creating. At this time in my learning the knife to wood relationship I was focused on the how to start and finish a carving. I knew it was Native American carving and could it be part of the Tlingit style. I didn't look at the pieces that way back in the day. All these experiences add up and become part of who we are. Where I am at today is a culmination of all the things I've carved, people who I carved with and learned from, who I have taught as well. A great way to learn is by teaching as well. I took this little Raven with me one time down to the Stonington Gallery here in Seattle to do a carving demonstration. We always bring along a display of carvings that we have in our home when doing venues like this one was, and Becky who was one of the key people who worked there really liked the way this Little Raven looked like! I remember that. It's one of the reasons I'm adding it to my future carving list. Coming from a guy who likes to make wood chips! Finding my Way! Carving Out My Future One Chip At A Time!

In this video: Lashing a blade to an adze handle. In a earlier video I had some tools that were rusted. I removed the rust and sharpened the blades. I had a alder wood adze handle in the shop, so I decided to prep the handle and get it ready to attatch the blade using seine repair twine. This video is doing just that. I attach the blade using a method I was shown years ago from carvers I learned from back in the day. Most of the adze blades I have I use stainless steel clamps to clamp the blade to the handle and switch out the blades as needed. I wanted to make a video showing how attach a blade using a more permanment method. Now the adze is ready to carve Tlingit mask and other art projects.
