🐾🪶 Tracks & Traces 🌿🍂

I was gifted a gorgeous knife and wanted to add a little personality. I had this little wolf head lying around for a while, not quite knowing what do do with it, so this was the perfect opportunity coming along. With onyx and petrified wood beads.

Mine on the right to match - Autumn Leaves & Raven Feathers. Beads of Calcite, Moss Agate, Carnelian, Garnet, Onyx, Petrified Wood, and wood, with an antler tip.

A present for my sweetheart 🐰🐻 Mun þu mik, man þik Unn þu mer, ann þer. Think of me, I think of you. Love me, I love you. There are a bunch of romantic or erotic rune carvings among what we find, and I love it! Not everything is macho warrior viking cult or dark and mysterious. x)

Jewelry Crafting from 2023 :)

I have a list of other animals I wanna do, so more to come. :3

We did lino cut in middle school art class, but after that I never touched the medium again, until now. This is my first (re)attempt, a sort of trial and error, and I really like it. Not only the craft of carving out the stencil, but also having something physical and easily replicateable, is just very charming. Definitely wanna & gonna make more stuff lile that.

This was inspired by hearthkvlt 's "Carved from Oak" sticker. They say: "Humanity is a forest. 🌲 These stickers call upon the Norse creation myths. If man was carved from ash, and woman from elm - then there are as many genders as there are trees."

Fenrispunk is a word for a lot of things. Dialoguing and identifying with Fenrir, with werewolf imagery too, othered from society, reclaiming the 'monstrous'. Who gets to decide your worth, how to live your life, whether you're loveable? Who gets to write the laws and control the narrative? Who gets to decide your humanity? It's nothing new that queer and other marginalized people turn to the outcasts and monsters in stories, side with the 'underdog' and the villain(ized) - familiar with the traits assigned to us by those who hate our existence. Queer, transformative, animistic, being in touch with who you are without shame. It's about body autonomy, about breaking free from oppression. Eco & climate activistic against those who seek to chain, dominate and destroy the wild. Also against moralizing nordic stories into good and evil, and countering the focus on the Aesir (as the good and worshippable heroes) a bit. :P
