Why didn't this occur to me sooner? A really easy way to clean up messy pyrographic work is simply to sand it down! After a few minutes of 150, 220, and 400 grit, it's much more consistent and legible. Go on, guess what it says. #OldNorse #runology #runes #futhark

It actually didn't take very long to carve out the entire sentence. The wood flaked away some of the lines but I knew what I was carving and could keep that in mind for burning later.

Larger letters would have kept the wood intact and left more room for the pyrograph, which got hotter and messier as I went. But it was an educational exercise and I know what I'd do differently next time. (2/2) #runes #runology #OldNorse

Thought I'd try my hand at runecarving, just for fun. I found this stick by the creek that some animal stripped of all bark, so that seemed neat.

I carefully penciled in the runes, hoping not to run out of stick. That worked out fine, but the carving was difficult. I don't know what kind of wood this was but it tended to flake and fracture with detailed work. (1/2)

Writing with runes can be a fun, engaging creative project. Learn how to get started on phonetics, and witness the blessing of a giantess. #runes #OldNorse #runology

Today, the Network for #SustainableDSE at #UniOslo held its monthly meeting w/ a presentation by Elisabeth Maria Magin:
"From Stick to Screen - Digital Editions of Runic Inscriptions as Research Tools"
Elisabeth set out to create the technological framework allowing staff at the Runic Archives to create a born-digital, interactive and open-access edition of runic inscriptions from medieval Norway.

After the runology day about Erik Brate on Thursday there was a walk looking at houses where he lived. It ended by the gravestone of the runologist Liljegren.

I’m at an all-day conference on the runologist Erik Brate.

I’ve signed up for an entire day of seminars about the Swedish runologist Erik Brate in May.

Together with runologist Lisbeth Imer from the National museum in Denmark, I have been taking Christmas in advance by studying the runic bracteates from the Vindelev hoard. We have made some interesting observations, in example discovering that one inscription found in 1852 (but was unreadable until now) was a poorly made copy of one of the Vindelev inscriptions.

More exciting news will be revealed later.
