Pottasleikir.....Pot-scraper arrived today. He found the stew pot
unattended. He grabbed it and sat down to have himself a good
meal. There in the pot were several pieces of meat. He has not had such
luck for many years.
Your response to my little Jolasveinar is so exciting for me...thank you for your kind comments.
I love that I have met so many new people through telling of the Icelandic traditions through the Jolasveinar.
The little fellows are a lot of work and at the same time a great deal of pleasure to create. Sometimes after I have made a face, I say to myself "This one looks like my Uncle B, or this one reminds me of how V...crinkles his eyes when he smiles and this one has my Father's lips" I guess the faces I have admired and loved somehow come from my hands and are represented in my Jolasveinar.
It is all Magic you know...so much so that at times I wonder "How did I do that?" when I wake up from the creative flow. Have you ever had that happen when you are creating?
Please don't be shy I would love to have a comment from everyone that comes to visit...I am greedy that way. You don't have to write a long comment a 'Hello' will do just fine.
This year I will be giving away one of the little Jolasveinar
(Christmas Elf). I will be drawing a name from the comments. All the
names for each day will be added to the hat...so that if you comment
each day your changes will be greater. Only one comment per post..please.
The Jolasveinn (Christmas
Elf) that has the most comments will be the prize. If there is an
equal number of comments on each post, there will be a drawing for the
giveaway Jolasveinn (Christmas Elf).
There is also one small rule...I would like to have a least ten comments on each post :)
The drawing will be on January 7th, 2009. Good Luck.
