Look at that beautiful example of Norwegian craftsmanship. The wedding crown is just one of the many beautiful things that Norwegians make out of metal. Every woman gets to wear the crown on her wedding day, and some of the crowns are passed from generation to generation.

Other examples of clothing and metal work are found in my clothing and metal work gallery.

Back to writing! I wrote crap, but as promised, I laid some pipe. I also organized some more details in the story. Next, we slowly and methodically describe tonight's sketchy scenes. I'll be in route to Denver tomorrow, but I'll still take a stab at doing some writing sometime.

Notice how the word count isn't changing...whackity whack!

12304 / 90000 words. 14% done!

Happy writing to you all.

Do you know why they wear crowns?

I know that eastern European Orthodox Christians (Russian, Ukranian, Carpatho-Russian, Romanian, Serbian) use crowns for both bride and groom. I wonder if it's a tradition that was carried over from the Orthodox Church into the Catholic and then into the Lutheran...?

I wish our family brought a crown to the US. I don't even know if we had one - I expect we did.

An heirloom like that would have been a wonderful thing...
