Started off as a thing to pass my time, one thing led to another and well... you can see the results. :smiley:

That's nifty. Does each rune (?) have a unique interpretation?

Each of them are based on the initials of a Sraffie's name, then corresponding rune symbols are found and then the trick is to craft them together so that it won't just be a mess. In a way you can make them unique as long as you can find ways to fit them together differently, even if there're two exact full names there's probably a way to make the two's runes unique.
I often mention Tolkien's "J.R.R.T." symbol when explaining, since bindrunes work in a similar fashion.

...wow.

By the way, I found the runic alphabet-it works! I think you may get next years Creative Sraffie award if you carry on like that, nice job.

What program do you use?

I used Photoshop for assembling them and Paint (cause it turns out I'm not too savvy on photoshop) to make the picture with them aligned together.

#btts, binding everyone together indeed.

Very much so! :shifty:

I must say Brynjar, that you have produced something very cool. Have you considered printing it onto a tea towel? I might buy it...

Ooh, it looks snazzy in your sig, Peter. I wonder if I should add mine. My signature is absurdly crowded, but there's always room for more, I suppose...

Oooer, that's an idea, Peter.

Thank you for laboring so long on mine, Bryn. :) I'm sorry it gave you the most trouble but at least you've given me an idea for the tattoo I've been meaning to get for the past decade. I like your symbol very much but I've always wanted to design it myself...although I expect I'll need some runic lessons from you.

I'd be happy to show you the tricks, Di, I believe they're called personal bindrunes for a reason. :)

As for the tea towel, Ian, I hadn't given it a thought and frankly I had to search on wiki to see what a tea towel is! :P

Kind of double-posting, but whatever.
If there's a sraffie who would like a personal bindrune like those above I'd be happy to create more, since it is quite fun.
Just send a message with the initials of your full name if you are interested.

You're welcome, I also edited Sean's rune while I was at yours.

At first I thought "d'awww, how cute", until I realised where their hands were going... and judging by what you named it, I'm guessing that's what you had in mind?

Upon Alex's ingenious observation, and because I am dutiful to my project as only Michelangelo painting the Sistine Chapel could possibly match, I have yet again updated the picture as follows:
