head or tail

It has almost been a month since I went to Copenhagen and visited  North Atlantic House, a building which is dedicated Icelandic, Faeroe and Greenlandic exhibitions and events. 

Round the corner is this blue igloo. It is locked but you can get the key in the reception.

I tried to take a photo of me inside. With thousands of mirrors it should be easy, however where am I? I wore a red scarf that day!
Trondur Patursson has made various examples of his “cosmic room”.

Outside the museum was a small coffee shop, with Icelandic specialties. I had a cup of coffee and an Icelandic chocolate bar.

I was so surprised when I took a bite. The chocolate melted in my mouth and I was chewing a small liquorish lump, a bit salty. Very delicious.
Not far from Transatlantic Brygge is Fretown Christiania.

They have an arts and craft shop  next to the entrance. A visit was very inspiring.

A shawl knitter cannot have too many pins. I intuitively chose this one and it is now incorporated to my collection.

I also visited Københavns Bymuseum. 
I am not particularly interested in how kings and queens lived. I am absorbed by the way poor people were treated, women and children. How they managed : Illness, poverty, suppression. I found this photo of a group of people from the bottom of society.

 

I am always touched when I see women wearing tie-shawl.

This summer fair Isle knitting brought about a strange creature to my house.

 

Once I housed this one.
