First, I want to give a BIG thank you to all the readers on this work-in-progress website. I am going to invest in some help to make this butter, better, best. Please be patient with me. 

I had a great time at the first annual NAICOB Veterans powwow. I made some new connections and enjoyed the sunlight, the drums, and the customers. I enjoyed showing the different digital prints I made to honour Veterans and their families. It was even better to visit with my sugusik, Reggi. 

I'll post the 5" by 7" cards after I make this deadline. 

Orange Shirt Day aka 2d Annual Nat'l Truth and Reconciliation Day is tomorrow, Sept. 30th. Please wear an orange t-shirt. If you buy one that says, "Every Child Matters," I hope you bought it from another fabulous Indigenous person. 

For my online class, I'm teaching, I shared this information on Orange Shirt Theme: https://nationaltoday.com/orange-shirt-day/

I know these events and many more will be held on Sept. 30th

I made this graphic for the powwow. This is my digital print of Anaanaga in Aug. 2021. 



Be safe, drink more water, and have a good day!

I painted an ulu and an inuksuk on 6 x 6 x 1.5 inches canvas. They're for sale at $65.00 USD/$89.00 CAD. I accept e-transfer and Venmo. I can email that info once I know where to ship them. Shipping and Handling costs vary by location. If sold in Hampshire/Franklin counties, I can deliver.  Both are original Inuit art and similar pieces sell in the Indigenous Art Market in Toronto for the same price.  Look at previous post for other paintings for sale too.  Let me know if you're interested. Follow me on Instagram: @ella_alk and you'll find more information there.  Life is good and better with paint.
