Their beauty is but skin deep. Each of the flowers...

The Serpent Fáfnir
I took a break from working on my Tam Lin series to create a piece inspired by my recent readings of the Saga of the Volsungs an old Norse prose, and more than a little inspiration courtesy of my Sister-in-law’s love of the beasts.
