At a young age, Zuni artist Elise Westika found that carving wood came naturally. Using an exacto knife to extract layers of cottonwood root, she creates precious animals like this lovable
Bear with a pretty pink heart offering. Facial features are achieved with a heated pyrography tool, which burns designs on a surface. Acrylic paints accent the sweet eyes and heart offering, while a necklace is laced with colorful beads. Etched paw pads are adorable. About 2 1/4" tall, 1 1/4" wide and 1" deep. Signed by the artist.
