Here is the Scandinavian farm elf hitching a fun ride on the spotted pig. He is just ready to be a conversation piece at your next party or family gathering.
Another wonderful outlet for our creative journey, each ornament is done out of mdf and laser cut with intricate detail. The patterns are etched on the surface for ease of painting. If you prefer to not use the etching, it can be painted over with Gesso or Texture paste and then the pattern can be applied - as you prefer.
