I only have a few items up so far. I'm really liking making wizard and druid staffs and wands since I'm a big fan of fantasy. If you've ever played a role-playing game, or a computer RPG (like Icewind dale) then you've probably encountered these items that have a little history to them. The sword of so and so the great warrior chief who fell in battle against a leprous goblin and things like that. I get a kick out of those, and there's plenty of beautiful driftwood around here. So I put the two together and started making wizard and druid staffs (or is it staves?). For each one I write a little background story about its fantasy history. Lots of fun. There's only one on my store now as I brought all the others to a local store called the Flickering Goddess in Boswell BC where she sells handmade soaps and all kinds of Fairy inspired items. She sold my first - and so far only - staff for me.
Here's an example of one of the background stories for a staff:
This particular staff capable of throwing fireballs was created by the junior wizard Erwinder. Forever after his creation of the staff Erwinder was known as ”Erwinder the Eyebrowless”. Owing to Erwinder’s relative lack of experience at the time of its creation, the fireballs hurled by this staff are not particularly potent, but they can certainly start a fire as the claims adjuster from the Wizard Guild Insurance Company can tell you!
