Three little kåsor looking to be adopted. > nymla.etsy.com < A kåsa (aka guksi, aka kuksa) is usually made in wood, from a birch tree burl. They are traditionally crafted by the Sami people (duodji) and often beautifully adorned with patterns and reindeer antler inlays. The are very common over here and you'll find ones in plastic too. Perfect for fika break while on a hike. That was my inspiration for these. Btw there are three in stock on Etsy, but to purchase more than one it seems you have to first add it to your cart, then you can change quantity. 🌿

A new project in progress. I've been working with some red and black clay lately instead of the usual white and found myself suddenly craaving to make some guksi/kåsa inspired clay things and I've been enjoying it lots! A guksi (Sami) or kåsa (Swedish) is a wooden drinking cup traditionally made by the Sami people, carved from a birch tree burl, one of those rounded growths sometimes sticking out on tree trunks. Sami people, or Sapmi which is also the name of the region, is the indigenous people of northern Norway, Sweden, Finland and the Kola Peninsula in Russia. I've just posted a big post about this project to my Patrons, find it here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/53368887 To be continued:D
