Spirit of the north star

Here you see a made-to-measure traditional finnish dress from the viking period, reconstructed to best knowledge and research with handwoven and plantdyed fabric, braintanned leather, even the wire for the chain was handpulled. Sometimes people ask me, if I still have a hobby...well, kind of ;)
The deepest gratefulness goes out to my muse for inspiring and challenging me so much.

The picture was taken at the Tattoo Convention Frankfurt by my favourite Photographer Christina: h2fotografie.blogspot.com
