Mountain Magic, A New Life. This bear has been in a Teddy Bear Scene Magazine out of the U.K. Also has been on display at I.S.U., on television newscasts, Newspaper articles, and filed in the archives of the Folk Art Institute.

Welcome!

Welcome....I'm just a country artist that will use what I have , to make art. Please enjoy what I have to show you.

What do you find in the mountains of Idaho?........PINE TREES. You're thinking something made out of wood. Right?

Not even close. Check out these pictures. These are my one of a kind "Pine Needle Bears"! These bears are made from pine needles! A couple hundred thousand of them in one big bear. The pine needles were gathered off the ground, sorted, washed, trimmed and hand woven. Over 8 months in making the life size bear.

On the Salmon River.	The Artist & the bear he calls "Mountain Magic', A New Life".	'White Heart', a life size black bear and 'Little Bear Innocence', the cub.

To make a living the artist carves antlers and other materials. Moose, deer, elk, horn, wood, ivory and more. Whatever he can find.

Check out the moose antler carvings.

Nothing goes to waste. The artist uses every little scrap of material. Like this motorcycle. It's under 2 1/2" in length. He used 17 different materials to make it. Some of the materials are walrus ivory, ironwood, water buffalo horn, moose antler, silver, rhinestones, shell, metal, plastic, rubber and more. The wheels and handle bars turn, too!
