Spinning and dancing on the tip of his tail, this joyous Beluga whale beams with the biggest smile.
His beluga face is mischievous.
Belugas are well known for their gregarious personalities.
BUT SEA CANARY’s outstanding feature is his stone colour!
You will never see stone like this again!
Why?
Because one of Pits’ greatest talents was to find INCREDIBLE stone and then carve the piece that was the perfect fit for that stone.
Like Sea Canary.
Belugas have a high pitched birdlike sound which is why they are called “sea canaries“.
Sadly, Pits passed away in October 2024 while collecting stone for carving.
His pieces are becoming difficult to find.
Don’t regret missing out on his heart warming beluga Sea Canary.
