The Viking God Thor's hammer,
Its been a while since I've done any Viking related art so here it is. I made the hammer design from Brass and acid etched the design on and then crudely hammered it into a slight convex shape, its mounted on old natural slate from a 35 million year old lake bottom, I painted the slate dark moss green. The size is 9" X 7"

You can judge a man's character by the way he treats those who can do nothing for him.

It's called Mjølner in norwegian, (Mjolnir in English?)

Thor used it to make lightening while his chariot rumbled across the sky, making thunder :D

It looks very nice. I'd wear it!
Or use it ;)

Feel free to portray (in good taste :ignore:) the most devious of all the devious heroes around: deviantMAN!
Drop me a note about it!

Superb work. You say you did that with acid, what kind (and how do I get it). Our family recently tried to have some acid shipped to us but with the encresed sucurity in this country has made that imposible. Oh well, I've always been rather ambivilant about that whole thing. We don't have any slate around here, just anthrositic rocks. I just posted a pic of our local bedrock in my gallery.

Dear Rest of the world. I was too young to vote when Bush was elected. Of course he was not really elected by a majority of Americans in the first place.

We're Sorry

I love the piece.

what method of acid etching did you use?

There once was a time when matters were settled by gun, blade or fists. The world has moved on, and my kind are fadding away.

Thank you, I appreciate that!
