A piece from the LostRavn collection — inspired by Cernunnos. Part of an ongoing series focused on Celtic gods and older symbolism. Drawn by hand, no AI, just trying to keep the feeling of old forms in a modern piece. Still exploring this direction with my friends, a team of European artists.
Short look at how our Mjölnirs and other historical pendants are made.
Each piece starts from a real Viking age artefact reference or sketch, shaped in beeswax, then cast in metal using the lost-wax method and finished by hand.
Designs are based on Viking Age finds, with small variations as part of the handmade process.
For Art Day, we wanted to share a small process from Ukraine.
This was filmed in the Sumy region (about 30 km from the border).
All metal items are created from recycled, used military cartridges provided by Ukrainian defenders, a form of modern trench art, shaped by hand using traditional techniques.
The pieces follow historical forms found in Ukrainian lands. Some reflect the Tryzub, a long-standing symbol of Ukrainian identity, while others are based on early medieval-style body crosses and designs connected to Viking Age influences in the region, including forms similar to Mjölnir or the Slavic axe associated with Perun.
