Today was the big day for release.

 

Hey all , I decided to release the "Miskwaa Message in a bottle" canoe on April 3 2022 , I felt the spring run off hit it's peak and wanted to give the canoe a fighting chance to at least make it to Little Bald Lake.

I have never explored the almost 2 km of river heading south from my location , so at this point I don't know what challenges it may have to endure.

Above is a short video of the event , can you spot the canoe ? as it starts it's journey.

Almost ready for release.

 Hi all , the river is almost ready for a epic event.

Today is March 25 2022 and I headed down to the river to check on the conditions to release a Miskwaa Message in a Canoe.

We need a few more days of warm spring weather to enhance the river flow.

My target date will be April 1 2022 and if conditions are correct the 1st of many "Miskwaa Message in a Canoe" will be released and the event will be documented , I am looking forward to it.

The river is not ready for canoe release.

 Hey all , March 17 2022 felt like a beautiful spring day , warm and sunny , so I decided to wander down to the river for conditions for possible canoe release , as you can see by the images there is still lots of ice that needs to melt and the river to be more fast flowing before I release my first of many Miskwaa message in a bottle canoes.

Since they are much larger than the original lil red canoes they may be easier to find and for you read the special message in the bottle.

Stay tuned for the release day , in the meantime feel free to read the prior posts located on the right ,maybe catch up right from the beginning of this blog with lots of images/video's and amazing stories from amazing people that participated in the project.

New Miskwaa project for 2022

This video of the Miskwaa Ziibi was filmed spring 2021 and I suspect it will be the same for spring 2022

I am very happy and excited to announce my new Miskwaa project for 2022

 

This is my miskwaa message in a bottle canoe , it is 12 inches long , stained with red wine , carved out with a message in the bottle.

To be released into the Miskwaa Ziibi during the spring 2022 spring run off , watch for images and video.

The last 2 years seems like a blur

 

Hi friends as the title of this post say's "the last couple of years seems like a blur" and to many of us it was , this pandemic has been very challenging for many.

Well going into 2022 I have been thinking about the lil red canoe project and I have decided to bring back the project with a twist.

I am busy in my studio creating new canoes that still will be stained with red wine to maintain the natural element and safe for the environment.

Stay tuned for more images and my concept , it will be unique and exciting.
