Yes, it's another tiny dead man! Hustomten comes from scandinavian folklore and is a gnome that is said help the farmer and cares for the lifestock, he has a fierce temperament and is very traditional. If he gets upset he will bring misery to the household.
It's been some time since i made this, but I still like it alot, It was fun to make something based on the folklore from my own country. the whole box measures - 27cm/10.6 inches.
The label reads- "This litte housegnome was found by my father, Jan Peter Peterson, in the winter of 1866 inside the old barn wall. He was already lifeless."
This is just awsome! I really liked to know, how you built this. :)
ReplyDeletevery nice! I really like your work!
ReplyDeleteYour work makes me very gleeful!!! I can imagine this little fella lurking in the pines!
ReplyDeleteOMGosh.... I love him!! My Grandma and Grandpa came over here to the USA and settled in Oakland, NE. One in 1916 and the other in 1919, so I am very interested in Swedish stuff to begin with. This is just awesome... I saw this little guy on fb and fell in love!
