I've made this happiness and friendship talisman for Iva, my best friend, as a thank you for always being there for me.

As you probably noticed, I used the elder futhark alphabet and runebinded:

Gebo (Gift) Letter: G for giving & receiving

Wunjo (Joy) Letter: W for fulfillment of wishes

Isa (Ice) Letter: I for a good standstill

The additional rune on the necklace and earrings is:

Sowulo (Sun) Letter: S for victory, success or other favorable circumstances

Items needed:

A small 5 cm x 0.8-0.9 cm branch with soft interior

Saw

Sandpaper

Pyrography tool kit

Lacquer

Findings - Silver this time

How to make it:

1. Cut the talisman piece of about 5 cm and each earring piece of about 0.3-0.4 cm. Scoop out the soft interior.





2. Draw the design with a pencil and then engrave it with the pyrography tool.





3. Apply lacquer and let it dry. I used 3 coatings.









4. Attach the findings. For this set I used the silver ones because they matched very well with the silverish wood bark color.
