Poetry Project Sculpture

Description

Okey the purpose of this Kris which I have made suddenly was actually becuase I was doing this for my A-Level Graphic Products Poetry Project sculpture. In this project I was asked to design a sculpture based on the poem "All that is gold does not glitter" by J. R. R. Tolken. Here is the poem:

All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.


So I thought long and hard what to make and I decided I was a swordmaker so I should make a blade. I was orgionnaly going to make a minture blade from LOTR out of balsa wood. However I thought of another idea:

A very long time ago when I first started making swords I had finished my first group of swords which were my first swords I uploaded on deviantart. I had already drew out various sword designs onto wood ready for them to be made. However I fell out of swordmaking and left them in the garage to decay. The wood that had previous designs on them I used for Bleach swords however I never used one which was the Kris design on it. Then several years forward after I completed the first Bleach sword Project I was bored and I found this Kris. I sawed it out and sharpened half of it then I tossed it aside becuase of bordem.

Back to the present I was in my garage and was throwing out old, useless pieces of wood where I found the Kris. Then I flash of brilliance hit me I could use this dagger for my Poetry Project. And so I worked on it and from an old unwanted piece of wood left to rot I turned it into a gleaming and beatuifull piece of art. I was even suprised with the outcome. I then decided to make a stand so I got some clay moulded into a rock painted it and I got the "Blade in stone" meaning.

Now how does this Kris represent this poem?
Renewed shall be blade that was broken: becuase it mentions the word "blade"
From the ashes a fire shall be woken: becuase the blade when pointed upwards resembles a rising flame
All that is gold does not glitter: becuase the handle and guard is gold spraypainted but it does not glitter.
The old that is strong does not wither: lastly this is becuase the wood that had the Kris design on it spent many years in my garage and didnt wither
