"But daddy, I asked you for his head on a spear, not for the parts he proposed!"

The difficulties of being a viking tribe heiress when your dad is always getting you wrong presents. xD The viking princess love murders, so do not upset her!

 

 

This is a very old idea, I always wanted to do something with the idiom "to offer the heart and hand" - I kind of forgot that the English equivalent is just "to offer one's hand", which sounds even more strange to me (I can understand why heart, but not why hand, and why only one hand? who gets the second hand then? is it a right or left hand? so many questions).

 

Of course, making a proposal scene would be too easy and not original (and actually I already did such a scene a few years ago), not even mentioning that the heart would be, well, inside, but the idea was to take it out literally. xD Don't look at picture like that - if someone's offers some body parts of theirs, then someone else, especially someone who understands everything literally, can take them, right? Why else to offer them if you're not ready to part with them? xD

 

And this is why vikings. I just wondered where it would be appropriate to place such a bloody scenario. Well, there's a lot of scary legends about vikings, why it couldn't be one of them? ;)

 

 

The idea is old, but I didn't try to actually build it for a few years, cause I really hoped to buy either 21343 Viking Village or 31132 Viking Ship (though I didn't really like the ship and I think 7018 is superior in so many ways, but I want a new Fenris wolf), but then I realised that chances for getting either are low. :( So I tried my best to build a log house with little amount of Reddish Brown parts I have.

 

I was going to post it yesterday evening, of course, but I get sleepy too quick cause I was taking another picture a night before, so I decided to rest instead. :)
