Searching for something new to work on, I came across a small vertebra, jawbone,
and balleen in a bag of odds and ends an Inuk friend had given me some time
ago. I remembered that same friend once carving a unique little bug using stone
and seal bones, and once I realized that the jawbone and vertebra together looked
like a face, this creature was conceived.
