Thor's Hammer Ceramic Ornaments

I am not the greatest ceramicist in the world but I do love making things.  So I decided to make some Thor's Hammer ornaments for my Etsy Shop.  Mjolnir has become very popular with Chris Hemsworth playing a very hot Thor so normal people have become more aware of the Norse myths. The ornaments I crafted are ceramic and designed to hang in the house or on yee ol' Yule tree.  Since I cannot draw I ordered some very nice stamps from Highlander Celtic Stamps.  The stamps I ordered were unmounted to be flexible on clay and did have a nice deep etching so the patterns were visible once stamped.  I have another set of Celtic symbol stamps but these are only good for paper and are to detailed for pottery.

  

I do believe the stamps turned out nicely giving a good pattern to the hammers.  I must try with some different glazes.

Blodeuwedd the Owl Cross Stitch Pattern.

I was wandering the wonderful web and came across the most AMAZING cross stitch pattern for an owl.  It is the Blodeuwedd the Owl pattern by Celtic Art Studios.   They also have Tshirts, jewelry, and hangings.  It is a great site to wander around on.

Since I found the cross stitch pattern and I adore owls I thought I would post some nice links to other fun owl cross stitch patterns.

So here are some of my favorites.

• Birth record cross stitch
• NewYorkNeddleworks two owls on a branch, from Etsy
• A sweet little heart owl from Sew Jenaissance on Etsy
• Jiffy Pattern Abstract Owl

So have fun stitching some nifty cool owls.
