Frigg's Knitting Bowl Part Two!
I posted earlier about this new project of mine, developing yarn bowls for the serious fiber artist. Last week I posted my prototype and this week, I have it glazed and looking lovely! You can see in the front the runes celebrating the Goddess Frigg. In Norse history, she has always played a special role in protecting weavers and spinners. It is my hope that they symbols will offer some protection to the fiber artist using the bowl and those lucky enough to wear their wares!

Letters to the Elves
The Elves tell me they appreciate all the wonderful letters they get! In Iceland (where our Elves are visiting from) people tell the Elves their wishes. If you ask politely, they might help you out! But never be rude to an Elf - they can be tricky and might sneak a troll booger into your bed.

Reading Runes
I have always enjoyed the mystery of Nordic runes. I use them frequently when building my elf houses - its easy to throw in a welcoming rune here and there. With my new work in pottery, I'm working with runes too. In my last post, I mentioned my yarn bowls with the Goddess Frigg's runes. In the next couple weeks I'll show you a bit more work along these lines. If you're interested in runes, I'd suggested the book below. It has been an enjoyable and easy read for me.
