Artist's Comments

Commission piece.

It's a bit of a surprise for the lady who commissioned it because she didn't request anything specific. Rather, she let me have complete artistic freedom to make whatever I liked, and this is what eventuated. I wanted to make something lethal, but still feminie. Let me know if you think I achieved it ...

Blade is hardened carbon steel
Guard and pommel are bronze
Grip is free-form pewter

Yes, you achieved it. Its not so much the rose, but the hilt guard and waving, but slightly brittle looking blade that gives the weapon its feminine quality. Very nice.

Oh good lord that is one sweet dagger.

But even in this early morn
Faintly foreshadowed was the dawn
Of that fierce struggle, deadly shock
Which yet should end in Ragnarok;
When Good and Evil, Death and Life;
Beginning now, end then their strife.

You know ... I think you're right. Looking at it now from that perspective, you got it in one ... I guess nothing else need be said cause you just said it all ...

:D ... Thank you sweetie ...

I could have done lots more to it (like thorns, and those little spiky bits that hang under the flower), but those would have made it uncomfortable to hold ...

That is beautiful! I don't think I've ever seen the idea of a rose used that creatively. The flame-shaped blade ads a nice organic touch to a truly stunning design!

You are way too kind, but if you like this, I am really excited and motivated to finish my "big" piece I'm working on, because it's the same sort of concept - something unexpected, turned into a weapon.

*:D * ... thank you very much. I'm not 100% happy with it, but that has a lot to do with not being able to get photos that show it off properly.
