Well I for one think it's marvelous. Thank you for posting it!!

Thank you very much:) I'm hoping to finish a tattoo-based one next.

Gorgeous! You've inspired me to go down to the corner store and grab a box of Altoids - it's been too long since I've made a pocket shrine!

[apikorsus]

Many thanks:) Yeah I can see this getting a wee bit addictive! Just as well I hoard so much stuff I can re-use.

I think hoarding is part of the brain-type of overly creative people in general. Certainly, everyone I know who is extremely artistic, and/or has multiple hobbies, is a pack rat extraordinaire

Ah, Asatru! I studied Heathenry for a while, I even made a devotional bust for Loki, I'll try and post the pic on my LJ (though he ain't everyone's cup of tea. Much misunderstood IMO). It's a rich tradition, with almost as many denominations as Christianity, your niece should have a great time getting to know the Aesir/Vanir.
My Hoodoo workspace has a small Odin figure on top of my ancestor bundle. Hoodoo's nothing if not eclectic!
Thanks for your encouragement, I'll keep you posted.

I'm giving a workshop on making cigar box altars next weekend. May I use your image of this shrine as an example of pocket shrines on the handout I'm writing?

[apikorsus]

Gosh, I'd be flattered! Sure, please do use the image.

Thanks so much! To what name should I give creation- and photo-credit? You can email me at carin at jhuger dot com, if you don't want to post your real name here.

No probs, you can credit both to me; Tom Hurlock, mixed media, 2009.
Many thanks, I hope your workshop goes brilliantly,
Tom.
