Pentacle

[chunkolini]

I was asked recently by a crazy aging Goth girl to make her a pentacle.
I have been looking at these for years meaning to make one. We agreed a price and I got it sorted.
1m diameter, treated with Gun Blue to give it some colour.
Here it is outside in sunlight

And indoors in artificial light.

She is dead chuffed, lets hope I get some pics of it in it's new home.

I was so pleased with the idea that I have all the bits ready to make my own.

Doesn't one of the point go at the top usually Chunko?

 

[chunkolini]

Nooo, that is a pentagram.
We did check this carefully, most of the ones for sale are in fact upside down.

Just looked that up, so it is. Never knew they were different things.

Nice Hedgehog there btw chunko!

Now you have to go up to Goths and lecture them on symbolism or embolisms.

Hedgehog?

Very observant, I was playing about with ideas.

Where are the straps to fix her to it?, oops wrong forum

 

[chunkolini]

The hedge hog is an idea for a local charity,. There is a nutty woman who runs a hedgehog sanctuary and animal refuge and they are looking for fund raisers. I have been roped in to do a talk on metal sculpture and figured I could make a few of these to be sold for her funds.

Upside down? Or rotated 36 degrees? :-)

And there I was thinking this was about a Folk Rock group. How about a 'Basket of Light' Chunko?

One of Pentangle's hit albums. I saw them in Cambridge circa 1970. Danny Thompson on d/base, Bert Jansch and John Renbourn on guitar. Cox drums Mcshee vocals

Enjoy

Thanks for posting this Chunko I've made two or three stars in the past and always struggle working them out, seeing this I can't believe I never clicked to draw a circle first.
