By popular request I’ve been asked to compile a blog post of all the divination tools I’ve made in the past… well it turned out to be quite a bit so this will be a long post of all photos. To learn more about the tool(s) in each photo click on it to be led to a more detailed description.

I always love seeing your ogham sets– the set with the tree leaves carved on the opposite end is a big favorite of mine! All of your items are so lovely and fascinating.

I have to know about your woodburning tools. I got myself a starter kit this weekend and I know that part of my task is to learn to use the tool. It is a little unwieldy at first and I keep touching the wood with the part below were the tip screws in and making a schmooge mark etc…

You obviously have it DOWN. Your work is so delicate. But do you also have a special pointier, narrower tip? None of the ones I have could make some of those small berries…

I have a special woodburner from Lee Valley with different heat settings and changeable pens. They are pricey, but they can do much more detail than the simpler pens from hardware stores. Here’s the post I did about my burner:
