A view of a nattmara fossil as I found it in the forest..
Available at my Etsy Shop!
This creature I have created myself with inspiration from Nordic folklore.
The word “nattmara” is Swedish for "night mare" and a mara/mare can be described as a kind of demon.
At first glance the nattmara looks a lot like a very thin human woman, although some say it has fur, horns and big tusks.
The nattmara can also change form into a bat. However, if one takes a closer look at the fossil it can be noticed
that the skeleton is in fact not a bat, but something else. Some people think they have found skeletons of small angels.
The nattmara is a malicious creature, visiting people in the night when they sleep and planting terrifying dreams inside their minds.
Sometimes it sits on it's victims chest, paralyzing them if they wake up, whilst they can not see what is holding them down.
Sometimes in these moments the nattmara will become visible before its victim and the sight of the nattmara might be even worse than the bad dreams it inflicts.
The fossil is made of resin (plastic) and have been painted with acrylic colors to look like real stone and coated with a clear varnish.
Fake moss have also been applied. It is delivered in a wooden box and the fossil measures 9x12 cm.
Thanks for looking!

Plötsligt får jag lust att lägga ut sådana här i skog och mark där de kan råka hittas av folk, bara för att sprida förundran och förvirring. Vackert.

Åh jag också! Sånt tänker jag ofta att jag vill göra. Borde göra det, med något som är gjort helt av nedbrytbara material. ^^

...eller av något permanent material som inte är plast, typ fin cement eller så, som blir en del av omgivningen på ett "snällt" sätt.

Aaaaaaaah its that kind of forests. XD Ääääh, seriöst vilket jäkla språk ska jag skriva på egentligen!? XDDD
Im only telling the truth! I love your fossils super much! But then I also love your dreamcathers and trolls and masks and just everything you make! They turn out so natural somehow and I love that. They feel both simple yet detailed and beautiful. And they arent... eeeh..... "pushy", aaak, I really cant explain it, but they give me such a "nice" feeling, of simple and natural beauty. (and now I dont mean simple as in they are easy to make but that they give off this feeling wich is awesome) aaaaand I feel I cant make myself understandable at all. XD
