Fish Skin Dolls collection of Lyn FabioLyn Fabio has been surviving in the Klondike in weather that has been -430 (that is below zero) for weeks now. She describes the ice fog that has enveloped Whitehorse as being "so thick you can't see across the street."
I have been whining and wingeing for weeks now about our snowy, soggy, boggy weather. Mostly, however, Vancouver floats a few degrees below zero. This year has been unusual and the snow has come and gone for more than two months. We live in a slushy state.
Lyn goes for a walk every day! The winter in Whitehorse means many hours of darkness.
She walks and makes chocolates and plays with her gut and fish skins.
Lyn has been invited to go to Siberia by the Russian government to teach gut workshops. She will also bring some of the more extreme textile techniques with her.

The little fish skin dolls are part of her collection. They are traditional.

Seriously, though, sounds like a fascinating artist.
Next time I will write 43 degrees below zero. The small o didn't work for you?
