I haven't posted any pictures in a while, so I thought I'd do that today. I don't feel like I have anything else to say.
The Altar of Ninja Summoning

This is my silly candle from Value Village. It has alien saucers destroying the earth on the left side of the monkey with the cult paraphrenalia, and on his right side are doves diving at the earth, with one tied down surrounded by spear-wielding midgets. And YAY - it's the sacred colour of orange! It is surrounded by my plastic ninja army, and I plan to use this small shrine to summon demon-ninjas. Hehehe...I also smell burnt toast.
Wolf Mask Project

I keep those plastic Hallowe'en masks around for shits and giggles...this one will be finished, someday, to hang on my wall over my altar. I have one more left. I may try to make a raven. It's not one of those "Spirit Mask" things...just a decoration.
The Howl Wand



I'm calling this my howl wand, since I made it to take with me to SEhowl at the end of the month. I wanted something fun for this one - I also plan to use it during the Tribe Gather in the summer. Jason bought me some Glow-in-the-Dark clay to play with, so that's what this is capped in, with rainbow paw prints. I chose to use howlite for an accent stone, since I'm getting to like it, and I needed something from the crown chakra to help balance out all of the colour going on here. It glows so perty! The charms are another pawprint, a raven holding an amethyst on a crescent moon, and a small prismatic pentacle. I think it's very perky, surprisingly so for me.
OK...that's that. More beading today, more clay crud...woot. Talka you later.

Date: 2003-03-04 09:30 am (UTC)A normal wand is only a few hours worth of work.
Since this one is mine, I only bound it in ribbon, not clay. It took about 45 minutes to cap both ends and bake the wand. Making the little danglies took me about an hour, though, and the clay charms another hour themselves. I like the danglies, but they're time-consuming and resource-consuming. I don't know that I'd do that again. :) Also, I took most of the day to glue the ribbon to the wand all the way down the shaft, and then give it a clear coat of glaze so it won't come off if it gets wet. So two days, in total, for that wand.

I have no quarrel with you....but don't come looking for one, either.
