Corgi Peeper

 Corgi peeper! Sabine, our little Nisse Korgi, peeking into the studio. She’s obsessed with our resident atelier cat Thor-Henrik, and tries to get glimpses of him whenever she can.

Artist Trading Cards and a Pigghå Troll

 I’ve been working on replenishing my supply of ATC’s.

There’s also a card for the folks back in MN.

A Pigghå Troll, that is, a Dogfish Troll. Very little is known about this species of Nøkker, and the Pigghå Troll that I encountered many years ago at Garrison Bay (who inspired this carving) was rather more Squalus than Adonis.
