Norwegians

Yesterday was Nordic Fest up at the lodge.  They had a rosemaling demonstration, a waffle contest, Norwegian "food" for sale, games, fake Viking weddings, and Kyle did a chainmail demonstration while I did a hardanger demonstration.

Whoa, is that one of my hardanger pieces on the table?

I hope you got the brochures printed :) (looks like you did)

I have both the books I saw on your table :D

YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE AWESOMENESS OF CHAINMAIL.

I think your outfit looks cute.

[maereth]

Yes it is! I haven't had the chance to frame it yet because it doesn't fit into the pre-made frames I have so I'm waiting to get it framed professionally.

I printed out 20 brochures and only handed out 9 :(. I'm going to hold on to the extras because I'm sure there will be other events this summer.

[habibekindheart]

Well I know Michaels offers frame pieces so you could build your own.

How horrified were people by my hardanger color choices? ;)

[maereth]

Are you kidding? They thought it was fantastic that "young people" are doing this stuff and how neat it was that they made it "contemporary."

[habibekindheart]

hahaha well good. I'm still wondering when the flack is coming for the new one I put out. :D

[maereth]

Do you really get flack? From who??

[habibekindheart]

Traditionalists :D

[maereth]

Fuck the haters!

[habibekindheart]

I don't think they appreciate that kind of language ;)

[maereth]

And I DO understand the awesomeness of chainmail, I just think that hardanger is at least equally as awesome.

[habibekindheart]

I think so too. Oh, check out what I've done to the center so far on the hardanger we'd discussed. It's on my eljay.

[maereth]

I saw that. That's amazing, I've never seen anything like that.

[habibekindheart]

I hadn't either, but I like it :D
