The Skrimslis

Never lose your inner child 🎈 The Skrimslis of Iceland are super cute creatures that used to live in the old turf houses in Iceland with their people.

By living in the nature they experience first hand what humans are doing to the nature. They decide to be proactive and start educating the humans on environmental protection and sustainability. Be sure to follow them on their adventures in Iceland's nature where they run ar

This gorgeous little girl came to the workshop with her dad and a 7 year old Skrimsli that he had been gifted by a very special person! That Skrimsli has been travelling all over with the world with the little girl and her father, even many times to Pakistan! So now it was time to make some friends for it😍

The house was quickly filled with creative energy when 3 Icelandic/Danish siblings came to make monsters after drawings they had made at home 😍 What a great idea!

I was so honored when I got a participant from USA that teaches art classes and has used my story and my company as an inspiration for the kids 😍 It is so meaningful when your work inspires others ❤️

What a day! A few hundred monsters that will be sent to stores around Iceland are getting eyes in the sun! 👀👁 When you visit our workshop you can also put a nose on your monster, many eyes or even eyes on the back! That is exclusive just for the workshop! But I love creating rare finds for the shops 🤎 Tag us if you see some of these around! 😁 #

A little walk down memory lane....Facebook just reminded me of this beautiful memory, the day I first posted pictures of wool monsters that I made 😅 They have evolved a lot through the years, but it was exactly 13 years ago when the story of the Skrimslis began 😊

Our Story

///

 スクリムスリとは、アイスランドに昔から伝わる妖怪のこと。それらはかつて、屋根に芝生の生えた伝統的な小屋の中に、人間と一緒に暮らしていました。しかし人々は、電気の通う、便利な生活を求め、スクリムスリたちはその新しい環境の中では生活できなくなりました。それから住む場所を探しに、厳しいアイスランドの自然の中へ繰り出すのでした。
