Mirror – Freya

Our carved mirrors started with a practical need. We wanted a full-length mirror in our tent so visitors could see themselves trying on our handmade garments. Rather than use an ordinary store-bought mirror, I decided to carve a wooden frame for ours. It seemed like a very Timber Posse thing to do.

At the very first show where we displayed it, a young woman walking past our tent stopped in her tracks, turned to her boyfriend, and declared that she wanted that mirror. Until that moment, we hadn't even considered making them for sale. That encounter changed our minds.

Each frame features its own carved imagery, with accompanying designs flowing down the sides. Past creations have featured Freya, the Tree of Life, ravens, wolves, and other subjects. The designs change as inspiration strikes, making each frame its own piece of artwork.

There's a practical side to them, too. Our carved frames are designed to fit an inexpensive full-length door mirror sold at Walmart. If the glass breaks, a matching mirror can be purchased for around $12 and fitted into the existing frame, allowing you to keep the original carved woodwork.

Mirrors are approximately 60" tall and 22" wide.
