A joyous, adventurous wish scroll with character : )

ws2ws7

This sweet little wishscroll would be perfect for anyone who loves adventure, travel, friendships and nomadic fairytales.
It has a turqoise chip bead at the bottom of the wish scroll, and a little spacer bead on top of the lid – or at the end of the cord, close to the knot, which ever you prefer as it can slide freely across the length of the cord.
The wish scroll hangs on a light tan colored adjustable cord. Wear the scroll under your shirt – it will get darker and shiny from the oils of your skin. Do not shower or bathe with it.

When you open the lid, you will discover a tiny paper scroll. Take it out, write your wish on it, and put it back. Ready to work!

height of scroll: 3cm or 1” 1/4, including bead.

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 my online shop. Choose carefully, no two are the same!

Write a wishlist, put a date on it. Keep it safe. Check it regularly. See? They DO care.
