Wearable magic! Write your wish on a piece of paper, put it in the scroll and wear until your wish comes true.
The scrolls are made of leather, and often they are finished with (silver) beads. Each wish scroll comes on an adjustable cord, so you can determine yourself how high or low you wear it. It will become darker and shiny from the oils of your skin.
Every wish scroll is handmade and truly unique. The design is 100% mine. I got inspired by the description of “Ethiopian wish scrolls” some 8-10 years ago when studying for my BA bookbinding degree. Five years ago I made the first scroll (see below), as I imagined it should look like. Since then there have come many more, in different shapes and colours, and the new owners give happy reports of wishes coming true. Here at home we also have two content wish scroll wearers, yours truly and her partner.
The wish scrolls are available at the shop Esclarmonde in Amstelveen, Netherlands, and at my online shop. Choose carefully, no two are the same!
