Pots from the Past, Part II - Spiritually Speaking
I have tried my hand at sculpting, not sure if thats actually the correct word for what I do, but it will work in the abscence of anything better. I've done lizards, Olmec Heads, Gargoyle Heads, and this piece which was the request of a friend and brother for his personal sacred space.
Odhinn, the All Father. I suffered from a reflective and spiritual moment here, much as I would suspect any christian, muslim, or pick any religion person might. It was good and it was scary and that was good enough for me - it meant I wasn't going to treat this lightly as if it were merely jus a pot.
Did I do Odhinn justice? I can't answer that question. All I can say is I did the best I could. The picture was forwarded to me from its current home in Canada. Thank you my friend - Raise a horn for me.

Should I - Could I. Could I do Odhinn justice? Did I really want to call the All Father's attention?Just a couple of the things that ran through my head. In the end I did it first and foremost because my brother asked me too, and secondly because while the All Father can be contrary, I do not believe he is petty and therefore understands the work of a man's hand.
