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 the new version of the Jólasveinar is so exciting for me...thank you for all your kind comments.
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 Jólasveinar.
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?
