Poppet Carving

It turned out much creepier than it had seemed in my head. A traditional poppet hand carved from a piece of tree.

I collected fallen branches last week and now they?ve dried out fully, I?m having my first ever try at wood carving.
I haven?t done this before, but I?ve always wanted to. I didn?t know exactly how to wood carve so I just kept carving until a shape appeared.
It?s completed with a protection rune and human hair (mine).

The end result….. a protection poppet.

It?s nicely tactile to hold.

But definitely creepier than planned.
