The Skrimslis

The Skrimslis Never lose your inner child 🎈 The Skrimslis of Iceland are super cute creatures that used to live in the old turf houses in Iceland with their people.

Technology affected their standard of living by forcing them to survive in new territory, out in the harsh Icelandic nature. By living in the nature they experience first hand what humans are doing to the nature. They decide to be proactive and start educating the humans on environmental protection and sustainability. Be sure to follow them on their adventures in Iceland's nature where they run ar

ound the great Lava fields in extreme contrasts under the Northern Lights around volcanoes, earthquakes, storms and much more. Meet their friends, the Raven, Polar Bear, Puffin or the Elves that guide them and the Trolls that protect them from all evil.

This is my oldest son, Pétur Þór, with my sister Gróa Sif, teaching him how to sew the Skrimslis.

Pétur Þór is currently living in Berlin with his fiancée, where he has been studying to become a tattoo artist. He’ll soon be moving back home to Iceland.

He has always been extremely talented at drawing, and I’m so excited to see his future unfold in the tattoo world. While he’s building his tattoo client base, he’s also been working with the Skrimslis whenever he’s in Iceland.

In fact, he’s been part of the Skrimslis journey since he was just 12 years old, starting out by cutting and turning hands and feet 😁 (he’s now 25!). He’s always ready to take on new challenges in the business, and his latest one is sewing the Skrimslis together 👏

So as you can see, the Skrimslis are truly original and made in Iceland throughout the entire process 🇮🇸

And if you’re looking to get a special tattoo during your trip to Iceland, you should definitely DM him 😉 Petur tattoos

I’m so proud of him! And who knows - he might be the one welcoming you in our workshop in just a few weeks when he’s back home 🥳

It is always so rewarding reading our reviews. Here are some of the latest we have gotten. Thank you for taking the time...

We were fortunate in March when we received three interns from Italy that wanted to try working for an Icelandic company 😊 A project their school and the EU are doing. So some of the monsters in the stores might have a little Italian vibe over them 🥰 A lot of fun 🥰

Það var mikið fjör í Skrímslasmiðjunni í dag þegar Starfsmannafélag Securitas bauð fólkinu sínu að búa til Skrímsli! 😁 🥰

There was so much fun in the workshop today when the team from Securitas came to make wool monsters with us.
