| Runic symbol A - Ansuz |
 GBP 5.99
This runic symbol signifies the letter A in the ancient futhark or runic alphabet.
This rune is known as ansuz. Ansuz has strong connections with the god Odin and symbolises his protection. Odin has knowledge of many languages, so this rune also symbolises his ability to teach us. It's a rune associated with learning, study , spoken work, inspiration and communication. This is also a rune concerned with luck. This would make a fantastic gift for anyone with the inital A, or for anyone interested in runes. I have modelled each of these from an air-drying clay. I make the pebble shape and score the runic symbol into it. I then punch the thread hole through it and leave it to dry. This can take up to 48 hours. I have to turn the rune over to dry it evenly during this time. I then mix up some black paint and with a very fine paint brush add the colour to the runic symbol. I add the keyring attachment at this stage too and leave it to dry for another 6 hours or so. I then add a couple of coats of a special clay varnish, which does not change the colour of the clay and is matt in finish. This has to dry for another 12 hours at least before it is ready. So all in all three days worth of drying time is needed for each keyring. Each of course is therefore individual.
