Magic Light Up Wands






















Theses magic light up wands are handmade and can be crafted to your specification, by adding twisting vines or a touch of gold. For anyone that loves Harry Potter or fantasy these are a great gift and add a real touch of magic.

Approximately 30cm in length these are a great gift or fancy dress prop. All wands are unique and individual and come in all shapes and sizes, colours and detailing.

With a click on, click off switch in the base they are easy to operate. This is attached to a cell battery which cannot be changed and this in turn lights a bright white led at the end. Each wand comes in its own string pull bag.

These wands are now for sale in my shop -

Coast - Peep Board

















































My latest commission for Coast magazine has just had it's first outing at Hastings pier to raise money and awareness of the famous pier that is in need of serious repair after the fire. The peep board went down a storm, at 6x4 ft this board is great fun for all ages and brought a bit of the British summertime to all.

Above are a few shots of the board, how it is supported and the extra blackboard that was part of the commission. This blackboard can be used over and over, advertising whichever event Coast are at.

The board has to withstand British weather and so all the wood is treated and the image has several layers of matt varnish over to protect it. There is a narrow capping along the top to stop the worst of the rain and small metal feet to raise it off the ground slightly. The hinged A frame means the board will stand independently and can be easily y packed up for storage.

These peep boards are great and everyone of all ages can enjoy them. Brilliant for friends and family you will be sure to get some hilarious photos. If you would like to know more or have an idea in mind please get in touch - rosieshorter@hotmail.co.uk
