I Make Pencils, Notebooks And Journals For Wizards, And Here’s Some Of My Best Work (23 New Pics)
Hi there! My name is Nadège, I'm a creative French girl living in Canada and the owner of the Etsy store "Les Nadises".
After 15 years of working in the field of animation in Paris, I moved to Montreal, intending to start over in my professional and creative life.
My universe is quite varied, I love nature, my cat, and heroic fantasy. I like to try new materials and different tools to renew my style. In fact, my only limit is my imagination.
I work alone in my workshop, which I also call my creative laboratory and I make everything by hand.
Recently, I discovered polymer clay and I'm exploring its possibilities by proposing grimoires and baguette pencils, but this is only the beginning.

Milky Way Journal
I grew up in the 80's and I was fascinated by the fantasy world, whether it was movies, literature or even the role-playing games my older brothers played, it really developed my imagination. I continued to be interested in this universe when I grew up and also in the world of witchcraft which I discovered a little later. It's very natural that I started to create grimoires and wands for my own pleasure, then to please others by combining several passions!
Copper Green Dragon Journal
Feather Journal
Sculpting and modeling is another of my passions, it gives an organic look and a unique result that perfectly matched what I had in mind when I started to imagine my grimoires. I wanted people to be able to look at them, but also to want to touch them.
When I work, I always put myself in the shoes of my customers, I want to have unique objects, that you can't see anywhere else, as if they were made for me. That's why each of my pieces are carefully handmade, including the packaging, I take all the time necessary and I don't hesitate to start over several times if necessary! I’m my own worst enemy, every detail counts!
Night Dragon Journal
Frosted Green Dragon Journal
I love decorative objects, but I love even more when they have a function, that's why I came up with the idea of creating wand pencils, magic notebooks and grimoires to write in. What I like most is to be able to create small objects that invite the imagination.
Dragon Devil Journal
Earthworm Journal
When you work alone you have to wear many hats! You have to imagine the product, order the materials, do tests, then move on to the manufacturing stage, taking into account the packaging and costs, answer the customers' questions, run to the post office and keep your accounts, and finally, you have to renew your ideas and start again. Personally, I would say that the most complicated part of my job is probably the marketing, I’m by nature discreet and I really have a hard time getting out of my creative bubble to put myself forward, that's why I’m really grateful to platforms like Bored Panda to help me share my work! And most importantly, thank you to all the readers for your feedback and positive feedback that gives me the courage to continue!
I hope to have given you the desire to discover my creative universe!

These reminded me of the spell book from hocus pocus! They are lovely. :)
So cool! I love these! I think I'd be afraid to write in these journals, for fear of ruining something so beautiful. What is a baguette pencil?
Thank you so so much harpling! a baguette pencil is a wand pencil, I did it by hand one by one! ^^
Load More Replies...These designs are so cool! I'd buy one for sure, if I had the money...
These are lovely, I'm sure if you made a few of the Game of Thrones houses such as a Lion, wolf, Dragon etc they would sell well too. Can I ask what the book covers are made out of please? What is inside is it plain white paper? x
Hi Deborah! I'm a big fan of Game of Throne, this is a great idea! Thank you so much! :) I use polymer clay, acrylic paint for the covers and the pages are lined, feel free to check my Etsy shop or my instagram to see more pictures!
Load More Replies...AhAh! You would be my favourite customer! Thank you Rens! That's lovely! <3
Load More Replies...How strongly are they held together, I would like some for larping (live action role-play), so they might get hit (pulled blow with a foam sword) or dropped (but that isn't as likely)
Hi there! I know a bit about the world of LARP, I did some in France but also here in Quebec at Bicolline, it was fantastic! ^^ To be honest, I think that the polymer clay sculptures of the newspapers that I made could withstand the shock, but maybe not the ones with very long horns! These are the parts most likely to break if, for example, you drop the newspaper on a hard surface. You also have to take into account the rain, which could damage the pages!
Load More Replies...I really appreciate! Thank you Similarly! <3
Load More Replies...I work so hard on this one, thank you so much for your message Sardonyx! ;) <3 ;)
Load More Replies...Nad, these are all so well-done, thank you for sharing them with the BP community!
Oh! Thank you for your sweet message Tamra! So sorry to be so late to answer!
Load More Replies...Awesome notebooks, as @brihtheart said they reminded me of the spell book from hocus pocus!
These are so amazing. So much talent! I agree with Ranger, I'd very much like to buy one, but I can't right now.
KittyGaming! I love Harry Poter univers, but I think my inluences come from moovies from my childhood, like Nerver Ending Story, Willow and so many cool movies from the 80's! ^^
