Native American Walking Stick #66

I'm working on a Native American themed walking stick, this time. I haven't carved very many faces. So instead of going to the drawing board, I decided to do some sculpting, to get an understanding of the shape that I want. That aught to give me a rough idea of what I'm after. I enjoy prowling around out in the high desert country. There's a story written in the ground of a people who lived here a long time ago. There's evidence of their life all around the area if you know what to look for. I like little horn toads that run around out here in the sand. They've got to be about the cutest little lizards in the world! I came across several pieces of spear points and arrowheads that some young man probably hunted with a thousand years ago. Back up in the higher country, we came across a small herd of wild timber horses. These horses are direct descendants of the ones that were ridden centuries ago by the first people of this land. Pearl wasn't really that interested in the deer antler that I found. She had more important things on her mind. She seems to have her own agenda when we're out and about. Back on the carving again; I'm putting a lot of decorations on this young warrior. I must say it's been a challenge to try and decide just how I'm going to do it all. Thanks for watching! I'll see you on the next one!
