Tiny Gwyn (from Thornsilver Hollysong)

Thornsilver Hollysong is a fellow monastic devotee of Annwn who makes pocket-sized crocheted Gods from his own hand-dyed yarn. I recently commissioned him to make me a tiny Gwyn based on lines from a poem I wrote when Gwyn and I first met:

His spectral shine shimmers white as moonlight
His hair floats fair about his phantom limbs
His warrior attire is black as night.
The eyes of the hunter of souls are grim
As the howl of his hounds on Annwn’s winds.

Tiny Gwyn has finally arrived and He is perfect. I love the textures of His moonlight white hair and the powerful sway of His black cloak. He has a guardian-like quality and has assumed custodianship of my bookshelf from where He is watching over my room in preparation for the return of big Gwyn. It’s lovely to have some of the energy and craftsmanship of a fellow monastic and Gwyn devotee in my home.
