How to obtain a scepter and ankh?

Post by Naudia Threng »

Does anyone know what it would cost to have a was scepter made? Or how to make one? The same goes for an ankh. Or an ankh bracelet.

Have you looked on YouTube?
The cost would depend on the size of the items you want and what materials you use. A scepter is similar to a wand or staff, so if you can't find any satisfying instructions for a scepter, perhaps looking into the instructions for wands and staffs might yield interesting results. You may want to consider Googling "cheap craft supplies" to find materials in your budget. Polymer clay, wire and resin are some of the materials I've seen used for making jewelry. You might also want to take into consideration how often you will be using these items. If you'll be using them a lot, you might want to consider higher quality materials.

HM... I never thought about clay.... Is there a way to attach the clay jackal head to a wooden pole? I plan to use them often.

I think it would depend on exactly how you want the head situated on the staff. A lot of crafters would probably have ideas.

This is a was scepter. Do you know any craftsmen?

Aren't you camping right now? Look for a branch that would work, cut it to size and fashion your own. In my opinion the best tools are the ones we make. :D

Why didn't I think of that? I'll head out later when I get dressed. Because I sleep a long time.

Perhaps you could use Google images as inspiration.
This is my humble opinion here, but to me the was scepter looks like a cane with a fancy handle. So maybe you could get an average wooden cane and then you, or someone you know with a wood carving talent, could carve the handle into a more head like shape.
I think this looks cute:Image
You can find it here: https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/1837026 ... -pendant-w You may want to look at ankhs on Etsy too. The ankh jewelry on there looks pretty. :wink:
