    Borgund stavchurch

     My first stavechurch! Its has been a dream to see them! 😀 I love old buildings but these are my favourite. Borgund church is built about 1180, but the viking style was stil going strong.

    Gudvangen 2016

     Now we are going to go on a trip we both have been longing for a long time. We are going up to the viking market in gudvangen! Im so exited to se the fjords and take alot of pictures!!
    From Uppsala to Gudvangen is a very long drive so we divided it. First we slept in Karlstad one night and then we drove past Olso until we felt tired at started searching for a place to camp for night.
    Just a stop for leg stretching! Already getting more beautiful!

    Lengberg inspired undergarments

    I wanted medieval underwear but was not ready for the 15th century apple tits just yet. I know its a part of the 15th century siluette but i promise i´ll try it later! So i did a lengberg inspired bra instead. The acheologist think that the Lengberg bra was actually a underdress, and I belive so to. There is a lot of pictures from the 15th century with women in fitted underdresses that have loose skirt part from the waist down.
    I wanted to have a bra that I can have under all my viking and medieval garments just so I can skip the modern bra. So this bra didnt need to be historical acurate since its not going to show other than in the siluette maybe. And i can also use this one as a bikini! Linen is actually great for bikinis since it dryes so quick!
    To make it easy to get in it I made hooks on one side and lacing on the other side to pull it tight.
    Jag ville ha medeltida underkläder men kände mig inte riktigt redo för sena 1400-talets äppeltuttar riktigt än. Dom är ju en del av 1400-tals siluetten men jag lovar att gör en ordentlig senare! XD
    Så istället gjorde jag en Lengberg-inspirerad bh. Arkeologerna har kommit fram till att Lengbergbh:n igentligen är en del av en underklänning, vilket jag med tror då  det finns många bilder med kvinnor i formade underklänningar från den hör perioden som har en kjoldel från midjan och ned.
    Jag ville ha en bh som jag kan ha under både vikinga- och medeltida kläder för att kunna skippa modern bh som kanske syns ibland. Så den här bh:n behövde inte vara helt hk då den ändå inte ska synas. Jag kan även använda den som en bikini! Linne är ju superbra material för badkläder då det torkar så fort!
    För att enkelt komma i och ur den så har den fått hyskar o hakar i ena sidan och en snörning i andra för att kunna dra åt.

    Fishhead pendants 2

    Har tidigare skrivit om mina fiskhuvudformade hängen. Här.
    Har nu lagt till lite pärlor. De gula och lila tog jag bara så länge tills jag hittar gula och mörkgula som liknar fyndet. En pärla i taget så blir den klar till slut xD.
    I have earlyer written about my fishhead pendants. Here.
    I added some pearls. The yellow and purple are just for now, until i can find yellow and dark yellow that matches the original. One by one pearl it will be done in the end xD.

    Whats wrong with my head? you might wonder. Nothing at all! Its just a very fashionable headwear from 1490-1500. This period is all about big headwear for women with is perfect since I wear wig!
    Vad är det för fel på mitt huvud? kanske du undrar. Ingenting alls! Har bara på mig en mkt fashionabel huvudbonad från 1490 ish. I den här perioden är det stora huvudbonader som gäller vilken passar perfekt då ja har peruk!

    I made a roll in linen fabric, stuffed with cotton (wool would be more period but i just had a lot of cotton). I fastened it with safetypins for now but i will sew it on a cap or something later
    Jag gjorde en lös rulle i linne, fylld med bomull (ull vore mer hk men jag hade mkt bomull). Satt fast den med säkerhetsnålar nu men ska sy fast den på nån hätta senare.

    Tattoo

    Första gången jag såg dessa runor blev jag kär, skulle jag ha någon vikingatatuering skulle det vara den här. En kärleksdikt på en vävkniv, kanske en kärleksgåva kanske trollkonst? Larvigt kanske men ändå väldigt fint. Tattueringen är gjord av min vän Kai, Kunsten på kroppen.
    Mun thu mik, man un thu an mer an ther
    Tänker du på mig, jag tänker på dig. Älskar du mig, jag älskar dig.
    Are you thinking about me, im thinking about you. Do you love me, i love you.
    The first time I saw these runes I fell in love. If I was going to have a viking tattoo it was this one. A love poem on a weaving knife, maybe a love gift maybe magic. Tattoo made By my friend Kai, Kunsten på kroppen. Maybe its silly but i like it.
