I was really taken with this statue and had to find out who he was. He was called Thorfinn Karlsefni and he was an explorer. I have set a picture of his statue against a backdrop of the Northern Lights and invented a shield for him. The shield is made from embossed metal and I added some colour with alcohol inks. My page is made up of a recent photo of volcanic activity on the island and a page from an old manuscript telling one of the many Icelandic sagas. Thanks for stopping by, you are so kind with your comments.
