Very well done drawings, Helle! That must have been a fascinating position.

Man, I'd given these up for 'lost', and all of a sudden you're coming up with other drawings! I love these. This collection seems to use more smooth shading rather than cross hatch---but it could be a function of the scan/photograph. Whatever it is, a beautiful job with the shading, and capturing a "personality" in each axe head. I mean that: These all have 'presence'. They feel like real beings.
I never asked you how you did these---ie, did you draw each one separately, and then paste them onto one sheet of paper? Or did you draw them all on the same sheet? Because if it was the latter, that must've been nerve-wracking: Because if you made one mistake, you'd have to start all over, right? Whatever it was, these are beautiful little 'beings'. Your pencil work was meticulous, articulate and, in the end, beautiful.

Thinking of it, these are not stone axes at all. They are used as knives to cut their skin and meat and such. That was before the iron age, so no metal at that time. Oh and Yes, I drew them all on the same piece of simple copy paper with a mechanical pencil and of course I had a good eraser too :)
