Thank you! I've definitely considered opening an Etsy, but it's very hard I think to craft effectively for people I don't know well, and as beautiful as other people's crafts and tools are, I would just so much rather learn to make my own and do it myself that buy someone else's... I have a few tools that I did not make that I feel very connected to... but most of my tools that I did not make are simply standing in for tools I haven't made yet. I had an Etsy for a while just for Tarot Readings, but as a full time college student any spare time I have for crafting tends to go towards making the things I've wanted to make for years. However, I love woodburning, and I've only just bought another (cheaper) woodburner (I have one at my parents' in California that's very nice, a gift from my grandfather, but it's not very portable and I can't afford one like that for here) but it's working pretty well and I'm... happy with the results if not the process, so I may have an increased output of woodburnings coming that exceeds my personal demand... in which case, expect an Etsy. But, we'll see. I'd really prefer to do personalized arts and crafts, so if anyone has personal requests, I'd be much more likely to be motivated by that than by more general encouragement.
That was a much longer ramble than it needed to be. The most important part of it was the first two words, so here they are again: Thank you!

I wanted to say so much more than I had room for, but Odin's says, "O Odin, Allfather, teach me," and Muninn's says, "O Munnin, help me to learn from the past." I wish I had carved Muninn looking back over his shoulder, but what's done is done. Huginn's will say, "O Huginn, help me to create the future," or something like that. I'm still figuring it out. I really wish I'd had more room to write, but there's no going back with carving and burning...
