My exhibition and a new website!

This beautiful weekend I am displaying my "stitched-paintings" in Eyrarkot cottage in Hvalfjörður, Iceland.

Saturday was wonderful with the perfect weather to enjoy the view over the fjord and mountains, along with the art work and chat over coffee outside.

We took short walks to visit with the elf beings in the neighborhood. The connection between Icelanders and elves is old and rich. As far back as stories go in this country, there is the stories of these beings living in lava rocks and mountains, streams and knolls.
We had the pleasure of meeting a lot of people Saturday and are expecting people today as well. The paintings on the wall are made by the artist Inacio Pacas.

The weather is beautiful today, wonderful to drive a short distance out of the city and enjoy a peaceful afternoon with nature, art and elves and of course us humans too ;-)
I am also introducing my new Elf Cards: "The Elves Little Oracle Cards". They include pictures of Icelandic nature beings, birds and animals.

I have opend a new website www.ragjo.is it includes the Friendship Tapestry along with pictures of my "stitched-paintings" and the cards.

Love and friendship to you all

Rags-- love the roses! Somehow, I had not pictured the volcanic layers of your island as a place for a rose garden. This is proof that beautiful things seek out beautiful places to be.

Take care, give Larus our love.
