Lagertha

June 3, 2018 by Tom

Katheryn Winnick plays the character of “Lagertha” in the tv series “Vikings”. She is a beautiful woman and there were many images of her to choose from. Choosing the one I wanted to frame was not easy. I didn’t want one of her with her hair, makeup and clothing all fine and perfect. Rather I wanted her as she looked after a confrontation with some other unfortunate soul. I think this one captures that. I’m just glad I’m not the one on the other end of that look!
The photo is by an unknown person. This poster is of silk and comes from China.
I used mild steel angle and flat stock, with all edges flame cut with a torch, ground down where necessary, and rough welded together. I’ve added some copper elements around the outside edge which I hand riveted into place, using 103 brass rivets. The small “V” at the frame’s bottom is the series’ “Vikings” emblem.
