Goat Gifts from Wood & Stream Creations: Scandinavian Art

HENNING NORWEGIAN CARVINGS:Norwegian nature, folklore and mythology have always inspired Norwegian artists to make pictures and sculptures that are so specifically Norwegian that nobody can doubt their origins. The wood carver Henning Engelson (born in 1918) started his career in 1947 in a small workshop at Toten, Norway. Ever since the beginning his idea has been to create a world of figures that radiate joy and humanity and inspire us to go up above the ordinary. Each of his figures has its own character and expresses parts of Norwegian soul and spirit. Henning carvings are very collectible with all Scandinavian collectors. Since Minnesota is in the heart of Scandinavia, we have access to all of these wonderful hand carved pieces.

Henning Carving - TorHENNING CARVING: TOR Tor was next to Odin in rank. He protected people against natural forces. Tor rode in a wagon drawn by two buck goats, causing thunder as he crossed the sky. Tor had a hammer called Mjolner. This hammer always hit the target which caused lightening and thunder and returned automatically.

THE ART OF SUZANNE TOFTEY: Being of Norwegian descent, Suzanne Toftey became very interested in Norwegian culture and especially the art of rosemaling. She has studied with many Norwegian and American rosemalers. An award winning painter, Suzanne is best known for her Norwegian scenes, blending them with rosemaling. Her work has been on exhibition in the United States and in Norway, and many of her commissioned works are in homes throughout the country. Suzanne has her studio in a Norwegian style home on an island on Lake Mille Lacs, in central Minnesota. Our mugs, tiles, and stationery feature three of Suzanne's theme stories: GJETOST BOY, KARI'S CHALLENGE, and KIRSTEN'S TENDER CARE. Through these stories she hopes to keep the old traditions of Norway alive for future generations.
