Stan-fah


Pigment made by grinding the typically North West Frisian brick (lytse gieltsjes) with fresh egg yolk.




I added a little red pigment(ground terracotta) to get a slightly warmer hue.
I'm still in doubt whether I should make the helmet gold-fah or perhaps iron-fah.

Frumsceaft


A boy's drawing, an ancestor, an Asmat Shield, a helmet-like shape.

The pattern reminded me of swaddling. It all combines with the foundling king of Northern mythology.
