My new blacksmithing hammer

They say you can tell a smith by his hammer. So I made myself one;-). I modified a junk piece by upending it and redoing the tempering (with a little help by Willi). The handle is ash, but will be replaced by something with ... more... erm... class;-)(?). Just needed it for an event so I fitted what was at hand. I love it! It simply has a great balance and is easily a match for a hammer 500 g heavier. It weighs in at 1500 g (head). The handle is carved on one side with a Celtic knotwork triquetta, making it easier to distinguish which side´s up.

An Triskell - DÄRÄRDDE!!!!

I just started this spontaneous painting. It was almost in an act of Zen. Nothing fancy, just a Triskell, if it were made with ordinary paint, but it is made from ritual paint I made from soil taken from the stronghold of the giant´s gate. I don´t know what will become of it, I just felt like doing so. To me, it symbolizes the virile power, and my inspiration at the moment is testament to that.
