craftgrrlIt's been awhile since I posted to the community. Here's something that I have been working on for the last few months off and on.
This is my Norse Goddess Freya. She's made out of polymer clay and hand painted. She has a beaded necklace and a feather cloak.
In Norse mythology, Freya is the goddess of love and fertility. She was also known as the most beautiful and favorable among the goddesses. Freya is the patron goddess of crops and birth. She is the symbol of sensuality and was often called upon in matters of love. Freya is one of the foremost goddesses of the Vanir.
Her attributes are the precious gold necklace of the Brisings, which she obtained by sleeping with four dwarves, a cloak of bird feathers which allows its wearer to change into a falcon, and a chariot pulled by two cats.
According to mythology, Freya also owns a battle boar named Hildesvini, which is actually her human lover in disguise. She also divides slain warriors with Odin: half going to her palace Folkvang, while the other half goes to Valhalla. And women go to her hall Sessrumnir.
The pictures aren't all that great. I'm still working on that one =)
