‘Bank’ Dagger

  • Dated: circa 1800
  • Place of Origin: India
  • Measurements: overall length: 7.5inches (190mm)

Used for close quarter combat, the inside edge is very sharp, and the lamination’s and temper lines can be seen clearly on the surface of the steel. The grip is made from Elephant Ivory scales.

Apparently it is highly unusual to find one of these daggers with a scabbard, and this one is in good condition; this one features circular patterns matching the decoration on the grips. A split spine to allow the blade to be drawn in and out.

Blood Lamp

Mike Thomspon created this lamp that uses blood to create light. The lamp contains luminol, a chemical that reacts with the iron in blood and creates a bright blue glow. To use the lamp you must first break the glass, then you must cut yourself on the glass, and finally you let your blood drip into the activating solution and it lights up.

His reason for creating this blood lamp was to get people to rethink how they use energy.

“It kind of triggered this thought in my mind, that if energy somehow came at a cost to us, then maybe it would make us think differently about the way we use it.”

Painting practice/rough draft of Beren and Luthien

It was suppose to be  rough draft for their chapter’s illustration but it ended up just painting of them in general…

I’m panicking about going back to school so I ended up staying up the whole night and not getting stuff done for my printmaking class which I’ll probably regret  in the next two hours when i head to school ._. Been so worried about my thesis that I forgot to juggle my printmaking work this Thanksgiving break and when I did remember I just panicked and avoided it T^T. 

God help me

I’m doing Fingolfin’s last ride for my animation final, and I need a little help. I want something translated into Quenyan, is there anyone who can do it? It’s this:

‘Come forth, O monstrous craven lord, 
and fight with thine own hand and sword,’ 

and

‘thou foe of Gods and elvish race! 
I wait thee here. Come! Show thy face!’ 

In return I’ll draw something for you. Just hit up my ask box if you’re interested.

summoning almare who is good at this sort of thing
