Ink Spatters

Zzzz....

Sorry. Too many long nights lately. The piece pictured above is based on the carved doors of a stave church. The doorway itself is called the Sigurd Portal, named after the ever-present hero carved into the wood there. I'm sure the carving could have been done better, but insofar as the depth of the relief goes... that's all I'm giving for now. Just not enough time.....

Time for sleep.....

12:20am, Next night...

It's out in the yard, drying - topcoat of golden oak stain is on it, though not sure of evenness (is that a word?). Medallion will be carved and appropriately stained with proper colors when the oak stain is done drying (before I leave for work in the morning). Arwen is working on the wording. Same style format for English as last wooden scroll, NOT gilding the runes. May paint or stain, but gilding would not have been appropriate to this particular style.

Hope the recip. likes this.
