I wanted to do a piece that incorporates my view on "magic" and a bit of a fantasy design... hey, it´s arts as well as crafts;-), and even if I feel a bit peculiar about that blade shape;-), I figured I´d give it a try. Still does not work as intended, but this is how I started the whole thing: I took sheepswool and fine (OOO) steel wool...
... both felted into one strand...
...around a mild steel rod...
...added another layer of wool...
...and wrapped copper wire around it.
Then I fitted it into the bush knife´s handle, with but a mild Orgon effect, so I will experiment with a crystal, a haematite magnet and some more copper. Downside is, that the knife will become rear-heavy... hmmmm... still thinking....*ggg*
I will keep you informed!
