In the Garden of Ilmatar
monotype print with Chine collé, 9"x12"
Ilmatar is the Water Mother, the Creatrix of the World. She brooded on the waters and laid six golden eggs and one iron egg. From this she created the world. The Finns celebrate her as the Great Mother of the Cosmos.

Now I'm going to have to do a bit of research! I wonder why one iron egg....
Love your work, it's so telling and the mythology you weave through it is intriguing!
This is just lovely. I had to have a very close look to see where is the chine colle and where is the monoprint. Gorgeous.

I was curious enough about the iron egg to do some research about the Ilmatar, thanks for the lesson! And, thanks for visiting my blog - I've added a link to yours. I'll have to stop by your Etsy shop... love the cards!
Beautiful piece. :-)
I really love the colors and imagery that you used in this piece. 'Walking in the rain' is another favorite of mine. Glad I stopped by to see your work!
thanks for the heads up
I love your piece. Do you also customize t-shirt?
