My Bio
Welcome to my page.
I'm a developing artisan who currently specialises in pyrography and woodworking. I'd likely to eventually get into leatherworking, metalworking (specifically with iron) and perhaps textiles.
Most of my work reflects things that are important to me; I often reference ancient, symbolic or esoteric themes. I am particularly attracted to Germanic mythology, runes, and depictions of nature.
Outside of crafts, I enjoy playing and listening to a variety of different music, the outdoors, shamanism, studying languages, travelling, MBTI and working out. I'm also interested in history, philosophy and the occult.
I have a strong affinity for Germanic, Celtic and Finnic cultures in particular.
Perhaps it is a little early to specify, but I may take commissions. If you like what you see, please inquire further.

Runes...

So in the midst of my scrambling to get all my work done (as well as studying for exams...) I have decided to take on a new project. During my study breaks I've started working on my first set of runes.
I was cleaning my room yesterday when I found a piece of pine that I had saved to dry in the winter. Before I had put it away to dry and without even thinking about it, I stripped some of the bark and the exposed wood ended up going a bit mouldy over the past few months... Instead of chucking the whole piece out, I thought that I may as well just chop off the rot and use it. I wasn't sure what I was going to do with it but I realised that it

Despite having a busy day and unfortunately not being able to make the Forteresse concert tonight, I did manage to put up some decent photographs of some of my pieces. I hope you enjoy them!
Thanks for reading.

I was originally planning on uploading pictures of all my work tonight... But since the majority of them were taken with my mobile phone camera, I decided that it might be a little easier on the eyes if I waited until the weekend to upload some better shots.
The next few weeks are likely going to be pretty unproductive in the art department due to exams, but I have a lot of ideas that I'm excited to try. I'll be posting updates as things happen.
Thanks for reading!

Hey! Sorry for the late response. I haven't logged in here in a while, but am working on forming an internet presence as an artist again. I really dig your woodwork. I have been collecting bones with the intent to carve them with Norse motifs.
Thanks for the fav!
