This is a God.
I have not yet decided a name and history for this God.
But it sure is a God.
Of dreams and such.
I think its a little hard to see in that upper left picture, but theres dreamcather-like thingies tied on the horns.


I made this mask/headpiece for a celtic ogham-contest.
The ogham signes are carved all over those horns.


Me and a friend are now planning to make more masks and such with the same theme.
Build up stories for them all, how they are connected to each other.
Maybe we get to show them at an exhibition.

Stay tuned



Oh and its made of: horns, sticks, beads, seashells, leather, sculpey clay, feathers, plaster etc.

Choose a material and just experiment, or find a tutorial, or take a course? ^^ Everything is possible

I wish they had courses around here. I think I want to try working with leather. Have any tips?

Nymla In reply to EmeraldRose3 [2011-01-15 22:16:33 +0000 UTC]

Its hard to give just general tips, youll have to be more specific But theres alot to read about leather working, books and tutorials and stuff.

Nymla In reply to EmeraldRose3 [2011-01-18 18:13:19 +0000 UTC]

Sorry Im not sure about that. All I can say is that I own the book "Encyclopedia of Rawhide and Leather Braiding", its awesome But thats mostly about braiding as you can see.
I dont know the best place to find books in the US? Any library I guess and borrow all they have ^^ But on amazon they have reviews too: [link]
And ofcourse experiment and try stuff, always the best way
