My latest - a gift from a city to a tribe
#76
A great piece of history and art.
Now - educate me - what are the two things in the middle - I get the fish/worship/boats/clothing - but I have no idea what they are - the lower one looks like a shoulder pad or shield to me - and I'm about 99% sure that is NOT what it is!

Concurrently, the other one is a Viking helmet. I was told by a local who runs a Nordic Gift Shop in Poulsbo - they DID NOT HAVE HORNS as commonly depicted. She showed me several historical books that showed the viking rulers wore helmets without the horns.
I used raffia for the cedar bark hat and wove it into the shape. I used silk dupioni for the viking helmet and decorative stitching, then stuffed it a bit to give it some shape.

UPDATE!!!! My commissioned quilt "The Poulsbo Quilt" is now on permanent display in the foyer of the Suquamish Museum!!! For those of you who live in Kitsap/Pierce/King/Snohomish Counties in Western Washington, this is a must see museum! The Suquamish Tribe did a beautiful job of displaying the artifacts of their culture. I am so proud to have some of my own artwork hanging in a museum!
