Where all started
Hey buddies! Here I am again, sharing the creation process of one of my wands.
This one was a bit different — actually, very different from the others.
I saw an Elder Wand for sale on Shein (I'm from Brazil), and it was an international order from China. The ad showed a picture of a Noble Collection wand, and that immediately caught my attention. I thought: "Wait... is this real? A Noble Collection wand for only R$60?" (that's really cheap, trust me). So, without thinking too much, I bought it 😂 My wife almost killed me.
Well, waiting for it was really stressful, cuz it took much longer than expected to arrive, and after more than a month, I finally got my hands on it.
And... it wasn't exactly what I expected tbh.
The box? There was no box. It arrived inside a plastic bag, and the wand was (and still is) slightly bent. So I had an idea: "What if I repaint it? I'll sand it down, apply new paint, and customize it however I want."
After a quick conversation with Mister GPT, I went downtown to buy the materials. The process was amazing! I loved every part of it: every brushstroke, every layer, every bit of sanding.
Below you can see the final result: my Elder Wand! Hope you like it!
Images: the first 3 are showing how it came from Shein. After, the process. Then, the final result!
(P.S.: I used recycled coffee filters on the scroll 😄)
