Here are the runes, about the size of 10 cent coins. I just grabbed little balls of clay, and pressed them down with my thumb into a disc. I tried inscribing the rune shapes into the clay with a stylus but it looked blurred, so I impressed them into the clay with the point of a flathead screwdriver. That’s my clay working tip of the week 
I have painted the rune box green, but I haven’t decided how to decorate it yet. The runes I will probably leave as they are. I rather like the look of raw clay.

those look great! you’re right, the look of the raw clay is great! they look like carved stones.
What a clever idea using the tip of a screw driver.
Fabulous – I agree too re leaving them as they are, they have a much more ‘natural’ look to them, and the texture of them will be good.
agreed – thanks for your input, girls, I knew I could rely on you.
They look quite ancient in their naked color.
How beautiful! You are such an artist.
I am so fortunate to be in contact with such a talented woman! I, too, like the natural look of the clay. I used to have some runes, but they seem to come and go at their will. Who knows when I will see them next!
Thank you so much for taking the time to instruct us!
