I´m a huge nature enthusiast and feel everything is so wonderful that is created without our involvement. Northern lights and volcanic eruptions are among the most amazing spectacles that the forces of nature offer. Since the volcanic pattern was created, it was time for me to design a pattern, I tried to capture these extremely beautiful, colorful and diverse movements in the sky which are characteristic of Iceland. This was the first time I attempted to dye yarn and the pattern followed. I feel I have created the perfect colour combination for the northern lights pattern. Now I´m catching up on with my design work and colouring or colouring and design work .
