Also made this little bugger from an old file and reindeer bone. Keeps a very nice edge to itself. Give me a holler via ask box if interested in giving it a new home. Also tons of other forged items in my etsy shop so if you are interested to check them out at:

Ablaze in Obscurity: Ana Mendieta’s ‘Silueta en Fuego’, 1976

Liberation from self-sabotage requires an understanding of how we co-create the life we experience. We are not innocent victims suffering at the cruel hands of fate. Rather, we participate in the circumstances of our lives by giving consent, consciously or unconsciously, to most of the pleasure or the pain we experience. Self-responsibility enables us to see that our reactions to the inevitable stresses and challenges of life are a result of choices that we are making. It requires the courage to acknowledge that we may have an emotional investment in maintaining our negative emotions and beliefs.
