My family pedigree is actually quite mixed, but a good percentage is Norwegian.
[Cue Olaf and Lena jokes. Yuck it up clowns!]
Years ago at a wedding we attended the couple included the Norwegian table prayer as part of the dinner and I was struck by how beautiful it was and how important it is to include our past as part of our present. Fast forward a few years and I did a bit of online searching to determine how to incorporate that bit of my heritage into our lives. Finding the prayer was easy, figuring out how to pronounce the words was the tough bit. I finally found a super helpful YouTube video and now we are fluent! [With the prayer at least!]
I wanted to create an art piece to visually remind us of the prayer we regularly include in our days and I figured a few other Norwegians could be into it as well!
I hand lettered the text, drawing the flora by hand as well in a style I thought looked authentically Scandinavian. I have to tell you the truth: I think it's super cute!
