Helmets Teaset


I constructed an armet-burgonet cross helm for a teapot, and then added three tea cups to the set: Crusader great helm, Hoplite/Corinthian helm and a Norse helmet.

Story time!
Now, the armet-burgonet, great helm and Corinthian helms all have crests of various types that I could tweak into acting as handles, but I have found nothing that indicates Norse helmets having crests that stick out to any appreciable degree.
So what in the world can I do for a handle?
Other than crests, what else sticks out the back of a Norse helmet?



AXES, obviously.

And in conclusion: I am awesome.

Ceramics and cardboard

The only final today was the ceramics final critique.
I set up my area surrounded by a noose. Whee~
And instead of studying the rest of the day, I made a cardboard viking ship:
It will be used in a viking funeral! Yay finals!
