Once this spark of inspiration ignited in my brain on Tuesday night, I was obsessed with creating these rune sets. I had a bunch of wooden ball beads in my tool box that I had wanted to use for runes, but I wanted to make it seasonal.
Snowballs came to mind--and I will be making sets of snowball runes!--but not Fall-y, ya know? Then it struck me--it was so obvious--apples and pumpkins! I'm very excited! I've been crafting like a mad woman on these sets these last couple of days.
There are two sets of pumpkins and two sets of apples--one regular sized, one smaller sized with the apple sets. Each one will have it's own pouch, guide card, and charm from Spirit, same as the other rune sets.
These runes are wooden beads painted with acrylic paints, one orange with a pink shimmer and the other a metallic red. Both with a metallic green for the leaves. The pumpkin sets have fern-green acrylic yarn stems, and the apples have dark brown cotton stems. Both sets are made with both metallic silver and gold paints, drawn with paint pens. Finished with a polyurethane matte varnish.
I will be making more sets this season, using black paint to make it easier to see the symbols.
Coming soon Idunn's Apples, with the Elder Futhark runes. Keep an eye out for those sets!
