mijanWands for sale! Yes, I've finally taken photos of the wands I've carved. Actually, my dear fandom friend and beta, ice_is_blue, is staying with me, and she snapped the photos. Anyhow, here they are:
Click the photo for a link to my PhotoBucket account, where I have detailed pictures of all the wands, plus several unfinished wands that are in-progress.
Prices vary between $40 and $100, depending on the wand. I know that's expensive, but please understand the amount of time it takes to create each wand, to include finding a usable piece of wood, stripping, shaping, hand-whittling, detailing, sanding, slow-drying, re-sanding, staining, and finishing. These are NOT wood-turned. They're old-fashioned hand-whittled. Every single one will be different, so unlike the "every wand is unique" claim that you get from Alivan's and other wand makers, mine actually ARE unique. I'll discuss price details with people on an individual basis. I'll ship anywhere, but understand that the further you live from me, the more shipping will cost. I'll also be bringing quite a few wands to Lumos, so you can purchase them directly from me there.
If you want, I can also custom-design wands. For a custom wand, I'll need the following information:
- Type of wood
- Length of shaft
- Colour of stain
- Style of handle (including grip and end-design)
- Width of your hand from the base of your thumb to the base of your pinky. (That tells me how long the grip should be.)
I've had a few satisfied customers from in-person sales already. Feel free to pass this link on to your friends who are looking for wands!

If you can help me with a costume, I'll not only donate a wand (or two) to the auction, but I'll give you the wand of your choice too. What do you think?

Date: 2006-03-26 10:31 pm (UTC)I basically need the costume in time for Lumos, so it's not a rush. I want a Gryffindor Quidditch robe. The one that I *might* have ordered only comes in a child size. (Go back to the LJ entry right before this one, and you'll see it.) So, something like that, only something for a small-medium adult, not a child. Think we could pull it off?
