October Fest

Before Halloween

people do Halloween cards

and sends them all their friends and relatives.

This card is mine version.

In Finland we have been "Kekri" but in 1729 church forbade to celebration of it.

Kekri was celebration of harvest festival.

Kekripukki = goat of kekri (on left) was key character.

Kekri was celebration of joy. People were eating and dancing.

Mikael Agricola (http://fi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mikael_Agricola)

thought that Kekri added cattle growth and fertility.

Kekri was praise from the harvest.

Meal was called departed of family. For them was a dinner plate.

For fairies prepared foods and beverages.

In the picture above is "Kekripukki" (on left) and fairy (on right).

Laura from Haltiatuli (http://haltiatuli.blogspot.fi/) made them.

Those are hand made ceramick.

I put them to box which I made (below).

Bracelet (below) got it's idea from Kekri.

I wanted describe nature and different times of the year.

Year begins in January. In Finland is winter and jewel's white describes it.

Then comes spring. Lakes and sea are free again.

Midsummer. It's the most important time of the year for many people. Main time to the birds.

August, grain ripens.

Autumn, apples and berries are ready.

Leaves fall and day come every day shorter and night comes longer.

Earrings reminds me of summer.
