Woman Warrior Figurine – a Likeness of Lagertha the Shieldmaiden

Description

Woman warrior figurine

This woman warrior figurine is a likeness of Lagertha the Shieldmaiden, the legendary Viking queen. I created it especially for all enthusiasts of Viking Age, fans of Vikings series and all those who collect dolls of various types. Due to its gender and warlike appearance, this felted statue will be also a great feminist gift for women. One can put it in any place that needs a special guarding and whether it will be ones home or office, this doll will create an ancient Norse atmosphere in it.

I make this Viking figurine in felting technique with great attention to detail. It consists of soft merino wool and small pieces of cotton thread and linen twine that I add for decoration. I stuff its base, so it is durable and stable. I also attach every piece of clothing, armor and weapon of this woman warrior figurine. Thus, it will not lose them even during heavy battle.

As you can see in the pictures, this shieldmaiden has a belt with a short sword which is a deadly weapon against her enemies. She also holds a large round shield in her left hand though she feels no fear. She is very pretty but her hairstyle and outfit are adjusted to fight. A jagged cape covers her arms and she is wearing a long caftan on her dress.

This Viking woman chose a warrior’s life. She practices her battle skills every day which makes her strong, fast and even more agile than men. Of course, you can fall in love with her but believe me: you do not want to annoy her! However, if you invite her to your home, you can be sure that she will gladly share her girl power with you.

How to care about this figurine

Due to its antistatic properties wool does not absorb dirt and dust easily. Therefore it does not have to be cleaned as often as other materials. However, if your figurine gets dirty, you can remove dust and debris with a lint roller or vacuum cleaner. If it needs to be refreshed, wipe it gently with a damp cloth or sponge.

Wool nepps

These small bits of wool are delicate and ephemeral like snowflakes. They are just perfect to use with handmade felt as a substitute for glitter and sequins which are applied to other fabrics.

Nuno felting

This technique is pretty similar to wet felting but items you create are more lightweight. You can make nuno felt using silk, linen or other fabric with open weave – just remember to make a mess!

Superfine merino wool

Superfine merino wool is just perfect for fashion applications. With its delicacy, excellent thermal properties, strong fibers and antiallergic effect it is invaluable.

Linen fibers

They are natural fibers collected from flax plants. Although they are thicker than silk fibers, they also look pretty cool on felted background.
