Samulet

I decided I wanted a Samulet a couple months back, but wasn’t impressed with any of the ones I found for sale. The most popular ones are flat and etched out, and honestly look very little like the one used in the show. I was really bummed, but then I then I thought, what the hecky, I’ll make my own! I really like the Samulet a lot. I mean... who doesn't? B̶a̶b̶y̶ Sam giving it to his brother instead of his dad for Christmas, because he loves Dean more, and Dean is always there, and Dean takes care of Sam, and Dean and Sam, and brothers, and-- *sighs*

It’s not the most durable material; it’s made out of clay, and on top of that isn’t even fired, but I did coat it in sealer several times and drowned it in clear nail polish. It works for now. I’m still searching for a good, black cord, so it’s looped with a black string for the time being. Safe, I know. I tried making the amulet out of molding clay? I think that's what it is called. It was working great... until I smooshed too much, and ruined over 2+ hours of work. So, I went with a material that dries faster and isn't as flippin' soft, and when it dries, I can carve at it make it perfect! 

If I can find ways to make it more durable and quicker to make, I may start taking commissions for them. Maybe, I don’t know. Legalities and copyright in all. I just think it’d be nice for the Supernatural family to have a good-looking Samulet, since we all so obviously love it.
