Everyone who reads this blog knows I love tiny things.
Tiny food,
tiny books,
tiny flowers,
tiny animals...
and especially, tiny horses.
Samantha Thompson's 2026 BreyerFest Diorama Contest entry has all of that...
She writes: Sigrblót was a Norse Viking celebration that took place during the spring. Literally translated, “Sigrblót” means “Victory Celebration,” illustrating summer’s coming victory over winter.
While this festival started with sacrifices to the Norse god Odin, it would end in the evenings of dancing and feasting.
These Stablemates have decided to celebrate Sigrblót with a dance around a Maypole, and a feast of epic proportions to enjoy throughout the night.
Evidence of spring is seen all around the scene, from the active woodland creatures...
These celebrations would take place deep in the woods, where the forest was freshly green and alive with spring in bloom.
to the lush and colorful flowers.
Amazing work, Samantha! Everything about this beautifully photographed piece is a feast for my miniature-loving eyes. Good luck at BreyerFest!
