This is a spindle inspired by Russian style spindles, made from Beech wood. It features a little extra bump on the shaft that works as secondary whorl, for better speed.
This is the shorter version of my Mermaid spindles.

Wood burned scales on it, framing a Pink Tourmaline cabochon, it is painted with special paints that have a glittery, shiny effect. Sadly the camera can’t capture them much, but wait to see it in the sunlight!
