Violet Grimm--the Dogwitch! One of four drawings in a series I entered in the second anual Spitting Nails Dogbook Competition, where I won one of the three grand prize awards. Ink on bristol, 9 x 12 inches.

Like this ink work THIIIIS much.
That skirt (or rather 'former' skirt) is great. I would like to draw like that.
It's hard, I allways get nervous when inking...

Correct me if i'm wrong, please, but aren't athames daggers spelled or created for that specific person. If they are daggers then the one you drew would be just a tad too big. Again correct me if i'm wrong. I still love the piece.

This is Fantastic! You seem to have a knack for angles, and when something needs to look soft or hard and sharp! I have seen only a few people with this talent (I unfortunately do not possess it) 2 Congrats!!!

K: A sword and an athame can be used for the same purpose and are pretty much interchangeable (sp?), like the chalice or cauldron (or at least thats how I see it).

You've done a great job on the Tools of the Trade series - Violet is everything that non-pagans expect a witch to be - you've even started scaring some of the pagans lol. The inking is amazing and I looove her shoes hehehe. Blessed be.

This is gorgeous! I love the shoes! ... oh, and I love the polka dotted underwear, lol. They add a quirky element to the piece.

The question being, How does one pronounce "Athame"?

Blessed be. 2
