All sketches are to give a person an idea of the general representation of the symbol found in most of my hex signs. With my hex signs, I use the symbols but usually embellish them, incorporating additional symbols within the symbols as is the case with most contemporary hex signs. For example, using my distelfink symbol, I usually add more details within the body... adding hearts, etc.
