I don’t know if it’s just the current economy or what, but I haven’t had any Shapeways sales (or customization/commissions requests) for a few months now and it is (was?) my only real way of generating any income of my own that I can do anything I want with. 😩 If you’ve had your eye on anything, send me a message over there and I’ll knock at least $5 off the price, excluding the travel jackal charms (but I will take $2.50 off them.)

My brass ankh from On the Temple Steps came, huzzah!  It’s very pretty.  I hope I get some time to put together a chain for it tonight.

What's this, what's this? Supplies to make a chain for my gorgeous Heqet pendant have arrived!

Looking for three more people interested in joining the group order for one of my standing Wepwawet jackal bronzes. 😊

[bigbadjackal]

Still around, just plugging away at the second part of the epithets project for Wepwawet. To those ends, does anyone here happen to have access to:

Franke, D., Egyptian Stelae in the British Museum from the 13th-17th Dynasties.

If a PDF of the volume is not available but someone has access to a hardcopy, I am in need of the pages covering EA506, which should be pp.169-173, pl. 42-46.

@dwellerinthelibrary , is this something you can get a hold of?

Still in need of another buyer or two for Wepwawet jackal casts to go forward. And friendly reminder that I do custom cartouches and take commissions for ancient Egyptian & Kemetic designs should I not already have something in particular in my Shapeways shop: On the Temple Steps

[bigbadjackal]

Now looking for 1 more person who would like to join the group order for one of my bronze Wepwawet statues. 🥳 I’m in the process of seeing if I can nail down an ordering date so I can set a deadline for when interested parties should aim to have the money available to send over to me. I’ll update accordingly when I’ve got a date determined. Thank you to all who have helped spread the word, we’re so nearly there in terms of having the numbers needed to proceed! 😃

The foundry I use has at some point introduced a minimum order requirement and as a result, I no longer have the convenience of simply getting single casts made to order when someone wants one. I will now need to order in groups of 5 and am currently looking for four people who would like to order one of my standing Wepwawet jackals in the near future. I was asking $475 per cast, but for the purposes of getting together a group order, I am asking $400 each. Everything else is otherwise the same : “Asking price for a cast, not including shipping from the US-based bronze foundry I use (which is to be paid when your cast is ready and is dependent on your location) and supplied without a base is $475 $400. Each cast comes with a basic patina of choice, a base template and the necessary attachment hardware. I don’t charge for the PayPal G&S fees, although payment by F&F is always appreciated.

Statue dimensions (when on a base made to recommended size: 15cm x 5cm wide x 2cm tall) are 6.5" tall x 8" long x 2" wide and a little over 1 kilogram in weight. They are very substantial pieces in person with a lot of presence. In regards to having a base made if lacking the tools/ability/etc to do it yourself, it should only be a matter of sending the base template (which will mark the locations for drilling), the required dimensions, and the attachment hardware for sizing to a woodworker or similar. I personally do not recommend going 'off-plan' when it comes to either the base dimensions or shape. The third image shows some of the patinas requested in the past.

3/5 slots available.

Please comment or message me if you’re interested! Additional photos of cast bronzes as well as the whole of the sculpting process of the original clay master can be found under #month of sculptural devotion

Hello! I had a quick question for you regarding your jewelry on shapeways. Have you ever explored the possibility of making a double-sided piece? The idea I had in specific was one of your normal pieces with an epithet(s) written in hieroglyphics on the reverse. Would such a thing be possible?

Hi Anon,

I’m afraid that option isn’t in my toolset and I haven’t been able to successfully do it manually. In the short term, what I could do is make one with a flat back and provide you with a separate file containing the hieroglyphs which you could get someone to laser engrave onto the back for you. I know it’s probably not the same as what you’re hoping for, but it is an option until such a time as I work out how to have differing sides on the same piece.

For my followers of the Kemetic Orthodox persuasion, I do have an amulet of Anhur available in the shop should you wish to check him out: Anhur/Onuris amulet. He's actually been available there since June, but I never announced his arrival because he was made at the request of a customer and sometimes I just forget to advertise those. He's available in a number of golden finishes as well as rhodium plated brass (essentially a white precious metal over a gold one!)

[bigbadjackal]

Awwwwwyeah. I had to outsource the making of the model for it to be up to my standards (and even then I did a fair bit of tweaking on the model yesterday and today) but Behold! At long last, a heart amulet: https://www.shapeways.com/product/QBFMTDJCQ/heart-ib-amulet?key=228cf1aa36fe7059fff20a9495bd5ea2

Bes anyone? :) Newly available in my shop: https://www.shapeways.com/product/DCVDMYTNM/bes-amulet?optionId=151540467&li=shop-inventory

The purchase of a new pair of shoes called for trying out a pair of my “Travel Jackal” charms, which are now available in one of the nylon options. While I have no intention of offering anything else in plastic, for something primarily intended to be worn on shoes, it’s a material option more fit for purpose and which comes at a more friendly price point. (Which is currently set a bit lower than it would be in light of the current “sale” I am having until the end of February.)

[bigbadjackal]

I posted about this on the FB page for my shop, but I think it’s worth mentioning over here too:

Have you been thinking of buying one of my amulets? Let me know which one(s) and I’ll drop the price on them by $5 each until March! 🙂 (It’s an awkward way of doing it, but there isn’t a practical option for bulk editing my pricing that I am aware of.)

A sweet and simple coin-type amulet for Anup is now up in the shop. It’s a big one by request, but I can make smaller ones readily - just ask.

I can’t guarantee that wearing Travel Jackal charms will always have you waiting in exactly the right spot for train doors or allow you to weave through crowds with ease, but they might. Inspired by a cool little iconographic detail and a friend’s clever use of one of my waterlily charms.
