Drewly 2026: A wicker wand

A wicker wand

Rug Beater Wand: For the clean obsessed mage that also must give fools a solid whack upside the head, the rug beater makes an excellent focus for arcane power and primal rage.

----------

Fountain Pen Wand: The pen is mightier than the sword, and this magic pen is mightier than a magic sword.

Drewly 2026: A Waxy Wand

A Waxy Wand

Candle Wand: This unassuming candle burns endlessly and can be lit or extinguished with a mere thought. The bookish mage that keeps this as their wand knows that there are more traditional ways of using magic to illuminate reading rooms, but they loathe the unnatural glow of witchlight.

Drewly 2026: Spinster’s Wand

Spinster’s Wand

Spinster’s Wand: A spinster is an unmarried woman who spins thread, and it is thrown around idly as an insult as it must be the ultimate goal of every woman to be married as soon as possible. This spinster couldn’t be bothered to marry because she was teaching herself to see the invisible threads of magic and spin them into spells, charms, and hexes.

----------

This is another wand from the domestic mage set of wands. I enjoy my wands project alot because really anything could be a wand if you wanted it to be.

Drewly 2026: Dual Knitting Wands

Dual Knitting Wands

Knitting Wands: A notorious homebody and accomplished mage was once asked why they spent so much time knitting when they could just use their magic to conjure up finished clothes. They responded with, “the thing that brings you the most joy should be done the slowest, rush the things you hate.”

----------

This is from a set of wands I drew imagining what an accomplished mage that had no interest in adventuring would empower to be their wand.

The Minish Cap: A dandelion gone to seed

A dandelion gone to seed

Green Kinstone: Green Kinstones are the base model for Kinstone fusion. Combing one of Link’s pieces with a person’s piece from around Hyrule usually unlocks a minor treasure or a new opportunity for adventure, often in the form of a rarer Kinstone piece for more fusing. Link can find these Kinstone pieces while by cutting grass. Slaying enemies, digging holes, and anywhere else he’d normally find a rupee or a heart.

Find a flower, gone to seed

Make a wish and fate may heed

Intention’s power, vision’s clear

So many fish and beggars cheer

----------

I often say, “if wishes were fishes…” assuming people know the phrase, “If wishes were fishes, we’d all swim in riches. If wishes were horses, beggars would ride.” Many don’t, but now you do.

Go find a dandelion and make a wish, you never know if it may came true.

Drewly: Fate cutting shears

Fate cutting shears

Fate cutting shears: These small scissors were forged by an anonymous benefactor as a gift to a child destined to be sacrificed. They are sharp enough to cut through even the strands of fate. Clipping their tether to the sacrifice, the child became a fateless hero, able to steer their own way across the fabric of destiny.

Today is the last day of drewly. A month-long celebration of everything we’ve been able to make. Thank you so much for sharing the month with me and my work.

Now that we are done looking back at what we have made, go out and make something new! Everyone has the potential to create inside of them, nurture that spark by making what you want to see more of in the world.

Drewly: Spoon Wand

Spoon Wand

Spoon: In the hands of most, this is a simple spoon. In the hands of the vengeful, this spoon is a discrete implement of punishment that can cast fear and ill fortune on the wicked.

Today’s drewly post is one of nine domestic wands I imagined a simple mage might use in their everyday life.

Drewly: Fork of Horrible Madness

Fork of Horrible Madness

Fork of Horrible Madness: Just holding this simple-looking fork makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end. It almost whispers to you, but that would be crazy, It's just a fork.

Drewly is inspired by the Fork of Horripilation, a cursed artifact of a mad god.

Horripilation means when your hair stands up on end.

Drewly: Kitchen Knife

Kitchen Knife

Kitchen Knife: Mamma Cassi runs her crew out of her kitchen and she is never seen without one of her big knives. Most people think the knives are just for adding a general sense of danger, and they are, but they are also Mamma's wands. Mamma Cassi is both an accomplished crime boss and a member of a secret coven of witches, both of which require minions and sacrifices.

My wands project continues, and drewly is where a lot of those wands get shared.
