Moe has an extreme talent for carving watermark Dancing bears.

This particular dancing bear lays glorious claim to a calm yet raw savagery. He is the quintessential “Jade Green” bear BUT the dispersed horizontal pale veins within the stone imbues a sense of this bear’s permanent existence within the sands of time.

This is Pootooloosie’s oeuvre. To create a tale around his bears that is told simply and well.
