# About me
Welcome to my page.I'm a developing artisan who currently specialises in pyrography and woodworking. I'd likely to eventually get into leatherworking, metalworking (specifically with iron) and perhaps textiles.
Most of my work reflects things that are important to me; I often reference ancient, symbolic or esoteric themes. I am particularly attracted to Germanic mythology, runes, and depictions of nature.
Outside of crafts, I enjoy playing and listening to a variety of different music, the outdoors, shamanism, studying languages, travelling, MBTI and working out. I'm also interested in history, philosophy and the occult.
I have a strong affinity for Germanic, Celtic and Finnic cultures in particular.
Perhaps it is a little early to specify, but I may take commissions. If you like what you see, please inquire further.

Hey! Sorry for the late response. I haven't logged in here in a while, but am working on forming an internet presence as an artist again. I really dig your woodwork. I have been collecting bones with the intent to carve them with Norse motifs.
