The Elves Little Oracle Cards

During the week of midsummer when the nights in Iceland are bright as day, I published my new oracle cards. I call them "The Elves Little Oracle Cards".
The elves and other hidden beings in Nature have been a part of us Icelanders from the beginning. Almost every cliff, waterfall, mountain and knoll has beings living inside. Water sprites, dwarfes, the friendly elves and the "next door neighbors" the hidden people. They are all part of our history.

My husband Lárus is helping me making a new website www.ragjo.is for all my projects. In there you will find more about the cards and the Friendship Tapestry. The Stitching Elf embroidery patterns is in working progress. We will be adding new things to all the pages on the website in the next few days and weeks.

Enjoy the bright days and night in the north and the cool winter days in the south. :-)

The summertime and The Friendship Tapestry


It is summer time here in the north and everything looks green and beautiful. The fragrance from the Mountain Ash (Rowan Tree) and the birch trees fills the air after a midnight rain. My dog Dúfa and my cats play happily outside, while the birds sit high in the trees and sing for us. It is a good time to enjoy.

My husband and I are working on a new Friendship Tapestry website. I can´t get into the old one to add the new pieces I have received.
We are preparing for another exhibition of the Friendship Tapestry but it won´t be in Australia as we had planned before. Time changes, doesn´t it. I will keep you posted here on this blog when plans are clear, it will be soon.

Enjoy the summer, it is a wonderful time to sit outside and stitch :-)
