The famouse Horne-Franz Horde discovered at the weekend in my garage!

[Dr Tom Horne @HorneSupremacy]

I made a broadband arm-ring for Maw Horne, modelled as closely as my talents allowed on one in the #Viking-Age Galloway Hoard.

I also made a more ornate one using multiple stamps, inspired by a fragment of a ribbon bracelet from the same.

Ambition achieved, thanks to @eblueaxe!

Made a Silver ring today to finally complete this Viking necklace after nearly 10 years! Short video below (last bit lower in the thread)

A Galloway Hoard-inspired silver arm-ring I made (with a LOT of help, time, kindness, more help, advice, learning and help) with the brilliant @eblueaxe!

[Adam 💙 @eblueaxe]

Great to have you both down and have some fun hitting metal and chatting!

[Adam 💙 @eblueaxe]

It is that wonderful time of the year when the turtle brooches begin to come ashore in pairs to breed! A pair of P51s seem to have joined onto this school of P42s for protection #vikings #vikingage #earlymedieval #livinghistory #reenactment #experimentalarchaeology

Starting a new project laying out and making an early medieval engraved brooch over on the tok of tik! Can't add a link, because Musk's twitter obvs...

Check out this recent #reshare of work being done on the Magazine, as our Architectural Preservation and Research team works to remove modern strips between 18th-century timbers and 20th-century plaster. Their work has uncovered the original framing of the Magazine.

Open-air museums host much cultural heritage data. You can find them in archival records, photos, video, and the minds of people.

A few weeks ago we went out on a magical adventure with #Watten Primary School, to show them some of the REALLY AMAZING #archaeological sites which can be found nearby.

1/several, but not too many.

And so, in memory of those monolith-makers, we decided to create our own #stonecircle, engaging in a little balancing and yoga as we stretched up to the sky. It was actually quite magical to see this place given some pomp a d ceremony once more, after 6,000 years!
