Cincindela damascene

Finally finished the original sketch.



Trying to track down a cheap copy of The Kalevala on the recommendation of a Finnish friend of mine. Not sure whether a translation in the original sung rhythm would annoy me too much, given the loathing of Longfellow instilled in me at secondary school. I guess it is half the point. Anyone read it?

Talk to zenicurean. He's Finnish and jolly clever to boot, and may be able to give you some pointers.
