Some of the stones that I painted last winter/spring. The horse paintings were prices in the Meistaradeild Líflands champions league in horse sports 🏆 The stones with only the outlines of the horses were prices at Reiðmaðurinn 🐴
The waterfall paintings I hung at Hraunfossar restaurant & I was very happy that they all sold immediately 🥰

Next weekend I will travel to the north of Iceland again, to teach a workshop in wool spinning in Grímshús, Klífshagi 🤗🧶 I think there is still two spots left.
I am by no means an expert, but wool spinning is something I love & I’ve been spinning for 25 years. I spin mainly wool from our own sheep, but also other fibers that I get my hands on, such as dog hair, cat hair, angora rabbit fur & fox fur 🦊

Here are Martas photos from the snowy pace races at Selfoss last Saturday. This was the second last competition in the Champions League, Meistaradeld Líflands this year. Congratulations to Konráður Valur & Kastor, Árni Björn & Ögri and team Topriter 🤗✨

One of this winters big projects for me, has been to paint the trophies for those competitions, & at the moment I’m working on the trophies for the upcoming T1 & flying pace competitions next Saturday 🥳🏆🧑🏻‍🎨

Stormy weather & no school for the kids today, but I’m spending my day finishing up the trophies I’m painting for the pace competitions tomorrow 🐎🏆✨ As reference I’m using photos that I took 10 years ago at the Landsmót Hestamanna competitions at Hólar up north in Skagafjörður area. I’m looking forward to going there again this summer, for the Landsmót.

Let’s see what tomorrow brings 😅🙏🏼 At least I was happy to be able be outdoor when I put a first layer of varnish on the tiny house door, that I painted the other day 🚪The luck dragon is inspired by ‘s beautiful artwork “White dragon” 🐉✨
