Tiny Norse Shrines!

I made this pocket shrine to Odin today, and I think it's going to be a contest prize or something for a podcast I'm planning to start. That's him in the middle, with his wide-brimmed hat getup, with his dogs Gere and Freke on the bottom and his ravens Huginn and Muninn on the top. I'm thinking about doing one to Thor as well, and maybe Loki, but the mythology I've been able to find is a bit vague on what he looks like. I might end up having Thor's shrine just be a shrine to Mjollnir. Or hell, maybe I'll be too lazy to do anything at all!

I like working this small; I had to paint some of the stuff in there with the tip of a needle!

  1. I can't see anything! There are just Photobucket "upgrade to pro now" ads instead of all the photos on the entire blog! Please do something about it, we'll be lost without your art:/

  2. Oh no! Thanks so much for bringing this to my attention; I never thought I'd see the dreaded "bandwidth exceeded" signs! Looks like it's time to move on from photobucket...I'll get all the images transferred over as soon as I can! Again, thanks for reading and letting me know!

  4. This is wonderful, and your craftsmanship on it is incredibly good. My only note, I think, is that the dogs' legs are WAY too long. For reference: The Most Perfect Children in the Universe
