Description
Done on commission for ~Slave-of-Dreams .Again, I usually don't upload multiples unless there's a major change. In this case, the commissioner wanted Fenris to be paired with a sword rather than the heart I usually do.
I based it loosely after the Blade of Mercy, though I didn't do all of the tracery since it would show up all the time, since the only glowing floss that exists AFAIK is white. The edges, however, do glow. I think it came out well.

Glowing blade and tattoo: [link]
I will redo this one on commission.
Other Mirror Danglers:
- Alistair Theirin
- Jowan Amell
- Zevran Arainai
- Sten of the Beresaad
- Anders and Ser Pounce-a-Lot
- Fenris
- Alistair/Jowan
More to come! :3

That is awesome! I love it, Fenris is just perfect. I just recently picked up crocheting again (it's been too long), did you make the pattern for everything on your own? (I can only imagine.

Ohhh so cute! Wow that sword is really impressive. O.O Is there something inside it besides stuffing?

Aww, thanks!
The sword has a bit of thick aluminum wire that I wrapped with yarn to disguise it, both in the blade and the handle. It adds a bit of extra thickness, so I didn't end up needing to use any stuffing.

Thanks! I've considered using plastic canvas, too. I've been using it in some TRON stuff, but it's annoying to stitch in place.

You are welcome to make one for yourself, but don't sell them, please. They're the only source of income I really have. D:

awesome sword, does it have any kind of internal support. I need to make a sword for a commission and I was thinking of adding some wire inside to keep it stiff. any tips??

Thanks!
I used a doubled length of heavy gauge aluminum wire inside the blade, so that it wouldn't end up being too heavy, but so the support would still have physical structure. I wrapped the wire in yarn as well. I also stuck a litte piece down into the handle itself.
It ended up working well, but if you plan on having a character hold it, have a piece running most of the length of the sword so that it stays a bit more rigid. In this case it wasn't necessary, but if you want it to be holdable without flopping, it would be.

Well, I do take online payments with Google Checkout, and I've shipped internationally without problems. So, orders from other countries aren't really a problem (and are actually quite commonplace).

Haha, thanks! :3
The sword was actually a lot of fun to do, even if my fingers were screaming for mercy by the end. XD Soooo making one for my Alistair sackboy. He requires it.

Thanks! :3
I do have commission slots for them open, if you're interested -- just send me a Note. There's an additional shipping charge for international orders, though.

I think its good too! Why can't I have one

Aww, thanks!
(And you can always commission one, if you want! I think Alistair is the only character I've made more.)

youre welcome 
Infact I do not know how to get it here or how to pay.....
but otherwise, I think it would look good dangeling in my black car :-D

Well, I do take online payments and ship internationally, provided my checkout service works with your card type.
I have an Alistair/Jowan set in my own (red) car and I love them! So distractingly ADORABLE.

Yeah.... don't know if it works....can try to...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Only if/when you want.
I'm always open for any questions about it all that people might have, too. No need to rush or anything like that, especially since I keep a running list, though I myself should probably be rushing off to bed. (02:30 here. Bleeeeeeh.)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
infact I think i do want one...
oh well then good night
can you tell me how it works with the card, or how it works if the card does not work.... I cannot remember asking so many questions that sound so riddiculous beside each other
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No worries!
I have sent you a Note through dA with details on how it all works. It seemed easier than using the comments. ^^

Aww, thank you! :3 I had a lot of fun with the sword, my Alistair sackboy is DEFINITELY going to have one of those and a shield, now. (And a rose, and a wheel of cheese, and Jowan's Oath pendant, and Jowan is going to have a pet rabbit, a staff, his phylactery, and... I swear there was more. Accessory overload.)
Hopefully Anders will get to you soon, too! I haven't seen any updated information regarding customs, etc. but I know my order to Spain made it okay. Yours should be a bit quicker, I would think, and it's only been a few days (including a postal holiday over here).
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, will let you know as soon as they have arrived, will take a picture for you!
Ooooo I am SO excited!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Me, too! I always think my stuff ends up being way cuter in person than in photographs, but of course that's subjective, so I'm always eager to know what people think when it actually arrives.
...actually, though, I maaaay have forgotten to felt the stubble into yours, in my hurry to get him on his way. *facepalm* If I did, please let me know and I can send you the wool and needle to do it yourself, if you feel comfortable with it, or I can alternatively remake him for you since it was my own absentmindedness.

Thanks! I do have commission spots open, let me know if you're interested at some point. Doing the sword was fun.

Haha, thank you. :3
I still don't like Fenris (the commissioner sent me a sympathy card for having to make him again, it was hilarious), but the sword was quite a bit of fun, apart from my rebelling fingers.
