in the hall of the slain

i was going to use the clay i got for Easter for the necklace i've been designing for my aunt Susan... But Vikings are running rampant through my imagination and decided instead to make a clay wall hanging for one of my best mates Bjorn (Ben).

i sketched a few designs and threw caution to the wind... and this is the result.

Just adding details. Axe, Shield and Helmet.

Drying



Once its dry, I'm going to paint it and add some more runes to the shield and a little hook to the back so it can be hung.

"They bid me to take my place amongst them in the halls of Valhalla, where the dead shall live on forever"
