I'm all done with the sigils for my tribemates. They're bindrunes, I suppose. I like working with the Elder Furthark for this - I find I not only picked runes that I think appeal to the nature of the individual being represented, I created a symbol that is pleasing to the eye and seems to come together well. I will be making these smaller for those amongst the tribe who want to use them for LJ icons.

Of course, I'm waiting for someone more experienced at this than me to tell me they're all wrong and don't work and buttfugly and I suck. Heh. I don't know the rules of making bindrunes. You can hate me for that if you like.


























Heh. Woot. Go me.

Pretty. I don't think there's really a "wrong" way to do a bindrune. And none of the rune combinations you chose immediately scream out, "Kill me and burn down my mother's house!" Congrats!

I've never heard of bindrunes before. They're beautiful! Runes are a favorite divination of mine. How do you decide which ones to use?

I choose runes for individuals based on...association. I may associate a particular rune with a person due to its meaning, or because of a strong personality trait. I also often take names or words I associate with them, and draw from that the first letter of the word to work with. I'll compile a bunch feel right, and then choose to start with one as a base; I slowly move them around, seeing which ones "lock" together in my mind.

I generally end up with pleasing shapes and runes that are descriptive of how I see a person. :)

Yaaaaaaay.
Maybe I'll make one of the bindrune itself into an icon. Neat. Thankee Morgie. :)
