Printed Illustrations from Prose Edda

I am working on a series of pieces for future craft fairs and markets. The current run are being used as a test run to see how well they are received. These are vintage illustrations from the Norse Prose Edda, considered the fullest and most detailed source for modern knowledge of Norse mythology (see further description below). I have up-scaled, processed, and color-processed over a dozen pages from the manuscript. These are then printed onto canvas and mounted onto custom stained wood. Not pictured, these will be connected to chains the top corners to allow these to be hung on a wall. Size: 8×10.

So far, I am liking the process. I have some bugs to work out such as determining the final coating/varnish for the canvas top-coat and the length of chain for the top. Minor things, but working through them one by one. As always, my Patreon members will be the first to receive these: www.patreon.com/plasticcitizen. I suspect they will be ready for shows and production by the end of the month. These will also be included in future Nordic bundles from Evil Queen Enchantments: https://evilqueenresin.com/.

“The Prose Edda, written around 1220–1225 by Icelandic chieftain and scholar Snorri Sturluson, is the primary 13th-century source for Norse mythology and skaldic poetics. It was created to preserve pagan myths and poetic traditions during a Christian era, structuring oral lore into a cohesive narrative, including a prologue, Gylfaginning, Skáldskaparmál, and Háttatal.”
