Tonight I find myself doing some research on the Norse Goddess Freyja http://www.valkyrietower.com/freyja.html. First True Thomas was telling a story at Angel's Melee and chose me to be Freyja (that's what I get for sitting in the front row). Then my boyfriend tells me he needs to do a Freyja gourd and wants my help. Then he told me he didn't want my help. So now I'm so fascinated with the potential of it, that tomorrow I'm going to try it myself. Let's hope my drawing skills are up to it.
I think the universe wants me to study up on Freyja. That's twice in recent days someone has involved me in a Freyja project.
Gourds are the perfect medium for me. I can carve them, use pyrography, paint, weave, dye or write on them. I can do tribal art, primitive motifs, cutesy stuff, patriotic themes, goth looks, or whatever suits my fancy. So far I haven't run out of ideas! Text and Photos Copyright Fayme Harper 2012.
