The Musk Ox

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Musk Ox, a survivor of the last Ice Age, lives in the northern Arctic regions. The recent exciting development concerning the Musk Ox is the soft down fiber, qiviut, that it sheds once a year. This rare and wondrous fiber is used by a few exclusive designers to fashion garments that are eight times warmer than wool and softer than cashmere! Read more about qiviut here.

This Woolie-Musk Ox was commissioned by an exclusive designer, Jacques Cartier Clothiers with a specialty shop in Banff, Alberta, Canada. Learn more about their shops and products at www.qiviuk.com

 

Of interest: My son Mark's new book for children, Diogenes, is reviewed on page 87 in the Nov/Dec issue of Bark magazine.  He portrays Diogenes for young readers as a dog in ancient Greece. You can learn more and purchase it here.  Diogenes follows his first book about Socrates, Wise Guy, both published by Farrar, Strauss & Giroux.


  My blog also has photos of Woolies I have sculpted recently.
