Slate Runes

As I said in yesterdays post, I have got hold of some great chips of slate which I am in the process of crafting a new set of runes with.
I have decided that I will engrave the sigils onto the stone and am then going to paint them -as I often do - the difference being that this time, instead of using enamel I will attempt to make a paint out of natural pigments.

I think I will powder up some iron oxide for the pigment and possibly use egg yolk as a bonding material (or something similar).

Once they are done, I will put some pics up here and probably try to sell them over on the Folksy.com store.
