Museum pieces

I have made some works for Väner Museum, one part was to make some sketches for some personalities from Swedish folklore. Koffa (one part boy the other part fish) he helped fisher bringing fish in Bäckahästen (a beautiful white horse that grew when kids jumped on him, making place for an unlimited amount of kids. When all kid's had mounted him he rode away, the kid's never to be seen again) Sjöfrun, she used half a boat (sound rather unpractical) treated right she gave fishers a good catch I'll return with the major part of this work, I have to see it in place.
