Dingada

So I realized today that I have never mentioned my etsy store on my blog before. Its called Dingada. The name came from a phrase my grandmother used to use, which roughly translates from grandma-ese to a "thingamajig" or "whosie whatsit." Originally, it came from the German phrase "Das ding da" or "that thing there."

Dingada is a place for me to play with and sell some ideas, products and designs that I wouldn't really have an outlet for else where. There should be some new cool stuff come up there in the future, but as of right now I am selling several shirts and totes with some cool designs I came up with a couple years ago.

The ever popular Huginn and Munnin/Two Ravens design.
Available as a ladies' tank, men's t-shirt and as a tote.

As of right now I am have an special for the month of December. If you put in the coupon Yule2012 when checking out, you will get 10% off! So check it out!

Ullr

We are rapidly approaching ski season here in the Northeastern US. It is time to break out the wax, figure out where the cat hid the ski socks and watch the skies (and weather channel) for signs of snow. 

As a Scandinavian mythology dork as well as a girl who loves some fresh powder- I can't help but think of the god Ullr this time of year. While Scandinavian gods weren't really "gods of" anything, Ullr was known for exceptional skiing and archery. As a result he is hailed by skiers across the western world this time of year in hopes of a good snow season.

Below is a thumbnail I did last year for a drawing of the winter man himself.
Perhaps this year I will get a chance to finish it.
