| Runic symbols M - Mannaz |
 GBP 5.99
This runic symbol signifies the letter M in the ancient futhark or runic alphabet.
This rune is known as mannaz. Mannaz is connected to three gods; Odin, Heimdall and Frigg. This rune relates to mankind, helping others and the environment. Mannaz warns us against acting in haste. This would make a great gift for someone whose name begins with the letter M, 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. If you like this design, but would rather have this threaded onto a leather thong with a sterling silver bail, please click here.
