A hulder (or huldra) is a forest fairy in Scandinavian folklore who seduces people traveling through her woods. Once in her embrace, a man will discover the hulder has some inhuman feature, such as an animal's hairy legs and tail or a hollow back (like some old tree).

Streaming #Norse: Oath of Blood for the first time! Although I haven't played a lot of them, I do really enjoy a solid turn-based tactics game, and this one looks really phenomenal. Big thanks to Keymailer for the review key :D

Pictish Beasts in Bronze

Remember the silver snakestone lapel pin I sometimes wear on my jacket? It was cast by MaudPunk (who also makes the great Fairford Duck pendants that Kelley likes so well). Now, with my blessing, she has used two of my Pictish- and one Viking coin-inspired animal designs to cast pendants. (The raven is from the Norse coin.) Right now they’re only for sale in bronze, but in a week or two they’ll be available in copper—and maybe silver? (Not sure about that.) Also, though I’m not sure of the timetable, she’ll cast the designs as lapel pins.

Each image below links to its Etsy sale page.

If metal isn’t your thing but linoprints are, another artist friend, Vicki Platts-Brown, is working on a couple of other images (flying heron and the boxing hares). More when I have it. And if neither metal nor paper work for you, I recently had a conversation with a ceramicist about mugs. Stay tuned!
