Mjolnir Pendant

 I made this Mjolnir pendant (Thor's Hammer) today, it took me about fifteen minutes to shape and carve out the symbols with a tooth pick.
The picture doesn't do it justice, but I mixed black and white clay to make it look like marbled stone. After I baked the clay, I painted the symbols in with gold paint.
Tell me what you think.
Blessed Be!

Fairy light

 I've been thinking about making something like this for a while.
I took a wall scent warmer from a popular soap and candle store (most commonly found in malls)
And a small LED twist on light from a craft store.

 The LED light was too wide to fit through the opening of the scent bottle, so I had to tape the light to it. I might redo it with hot glue as a connector.

Isn't it pretty?! And while the tape is not very nice to look at, I could string the light up and not be afraid of it falling and breaking.
I'd like to try this with a few more colors and different types of light sources.

Polymer Clay worry stone

 I made this blue and white swirly worry stone this afternoon, for no particular reason. I made the indentation smooth, by dragging my thumb over the clay before I cooked it; so it smoothed out the ridges of my thumb-print.
I used a nail file to rub away any other finger prints and then I polished it a little more just by rubbing the "stone" on the knee of my jeans.

Book of Mirrors, Lunar Journal

 A Book of mirrors is a not oft talked about personal journal, used to track your progress in magick and life. http://awitchylife.wordpress.com/2011/06/07/book-of-mirrors-and-the-magic-of-writing/
  This is a cool blog-post, that goes into a little more detail about Books of Mirrors.




 (I guess it's going to have to be a side-ways picture!)
This is the cover of a canvas cover journal that I bought at a major craft store chain for about $10. It will be my Book of Mirrors/Lunar Journal.
 On the spine I painted a full and new moon, as well as two Celtic knots, in silver bordered by gold-the colors of the Goddess and God.
I'm thinking about making a purple felt pen slot on the side, so I can take my journal with me if I ever go anywhere.









This is the cover page of my journal, I don't know if you can read it, I used a stencil so it would have fancy letters. Again I used silver surrounded by gold, you can't really see it, but the gold ink is kind of glittery, it's very pretty.
The Lunar Journal part of the Book of Mirrors, is a journal of your magickal workings during different moon phases-this is done so you can see when you are your most powerful; so you can perform important spells and have better results.

Care of Magical Creatures

 I've been filling a drawing journal with...drawings; of magickal creatures, or creatures with maigickal properties. (i.e. the raven and owl)
Tell me what you think.
*The owl-wisdom, clear sightedness, element of air
 *The raven- mystery, death, changes
 The Frog- land and water, duality
 The Stag- element earth, pride, strength
Gretchen, The Beer Stein Fairy- this was just for laughs, like the green fairy associated with Absinth. But, you know fairies can be connected with anything, and beer is made from plant materials.
(I kind of just wanted to draw a fairy wearing a dirndl)

Hope you liked them.
Blessed Be!
