RUSSIAN FEDERATION/Saint-Petersburg. July 14, 2010. Extreme heat in Saint-Petersburg - over 30C - makes citizens bathe in ponds and rivers in the city where swimming is strictly prohibited. Weather forecast predicts temperature will rise to 35-37C. Not only adults, but children also swim and play in polluted water without any attention of their parents. Photo: Nadya Davydova
Check out my Apple sticker on my glass - drives our IT people crazy!
(one of them even has a Powerbook Laptop!)
This was a commissioned work for a friend of mine - though I had a lot of artistic freedom.
The Sax-blade is made from some carbon steel (nothing special) and is the only thing I could not manufacture myself so I got it from a friend. So do not ask me questions about the blade - my answers will be quite unsatisfying ;)
The handle is made from some very interesting materials.
The first part is some usual deer antler. But the way I used it shall remind a bit on the shape of bronze age swords.
Then there are the intermediate pieces of leather.
The next part is oak - moor oak to be precise. This means, this piece of wood could easily be around 5000 years old...
After the next piece of leather, there is a piece of oak again.
But a special one again!
Some of you may know the story about the Donar-Oak (Donareiche) which was a sacred place for the Chatti and other ancient germanic tribes of central Germany.
In the year 723 Bonifatius had the oak felled in an attempt to convey the superiority of the Christian God over Thor and the native Germanic religion.
However, and this part is not told by common history pages, the germanic people did not renunciate directly after christianisation and planted a new oak which stood there until the mid of the last century. Only few people know about the place where the remains of this ancient tree can be found.
And this handle is made of it's wood!
If you don't believe this (I swear that I do it!) it may just be a piece of a very very old common german oak...
The sheath is made from veg tanned leather as all my leather works - the viking design is an own one and the Wolfangel is part of the family crest of my friend who got this wonderful piece...
This is going to be the zombie girl from Dawn of the Dreadfuls book cover art. Temporary hair just to see what it looks like, I have another better dark brown middle part scalp coming for her. Trying to decide between Pure Neemo body and Licca body.
To further enhance the inclusivity of people with disabilities in Indonesian business, the Ministry of Manpower in collaboration with the LO organized a Forum called Indonesia Business and Disability Network in Jakarta on 1 December 2015.
