			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have observed, through my mysterious webmistress powers, that &#8220;wands&#8221; and &#8220;artwork&#8221; are two very popular categories, always among the most looked at, and yet they probably have the least content. I&#8217;ve begun working on fixing that.</p>
<p>As you may notice, I&#8217;ve added a page on top with pictures of all the wands and such that I&#8217;ve made. Like the Projects page, I will be updating it from time to time as I finish new pieces. </p>
<p>I&#8217;m also going to add an Artwork page, but I haven&#8217;t quite decided whether to restrict it to art that&#8217;s related to my writing, or have it just be anything and everything. What would people like to see?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I think I briefly reviewed The Mortal Instruments trilogy by Cassandra Clare on this blog somewhere. Well, I had this small palm branch that I could never figure out what sort of athame to make out of it&#8230;so instead, I decided to make a stele. A stele, for all of you that haven&#8217;t read the books, is a writing instrument that Shadowhunters use to draw angel runes on themselves. It is made of special glass, is somewhat bigger than a pen and smaller than a wand.</p>
<p>Obviously mine is not made of glass, since working with glass is not (yet *cough*) among my list of artsy skills. Mine is also more intricate than the canon Shadowhunter version (which, as far as I remember, is just basically a glass wand).</p>
<p><img src="http://nightphoenix.com/images/stele_whole.jpg" alt="This is the whole thing." /></p>
<p>Yay for iridescent white paint. The swirly design is blue twine that I super-glued to the body of the stele. (Yes, that took a while).</p>
<p><img src="http://nightphoenix.com/images/stele_closeup.jpg" alt="Close-up of blue swirl." /></p>
<p>The blue twine up close.</p>
<p><img src="http://nightphoenix.com/images/stele_tip.jpg" alt="The amaranth is my own personal sigil." /></p>
<p>The flower is supposed to be an amaranth. Also not canon, but since I intend on hanging on to this thing (unlike some of the Mortal Instruments characters), why not make it personal?</p>
<p><img src="http://nightphoenix.com/images/stele_holding.jpg" alt="See the angel rune?" /></p>
<p>The design on the end is the rune for angelic power. Appropriate for a stele. No, I did not create the rune&#8230;someone online did.</p>
<p><img src="http://nightphoenix.com/images/stele_drawing.jpg" alt="Drawing a rune." /></p>
<p>The stele in action. (Or rather, cleverly photoshopped to appear so). The rune being drawn is a healing rune, borrowed from the same online source.</p>
<p>Anyway, this project was such fun that I&#8217;m not in the process of making a seraph blade from the same book series. If I ever get the opportunity to go to some Cassandra Clare fan gathering, I&#8217;ll be prepared.</p>
