That sounds amazing, @Rowan! 
Good luck with your sigil carving. I’d love to see a picture when you’re finished! 
Runes have always fascinated me and I love hearing about others’ experiences working with them- however I haven’t used them much in my own magickal practice! I do love my Icelandic rune talismans 
though- I carry one with me on my bag whenever I go out
