A small Selkie Talisman from the Wild Minder Selkie Collection, inspired by the Selkie stories found in Irish and Scottish folklore. Each piece is hand-painted and finished with free-motion embroidery, transforming a simple patch or bag charm into a small symbolic talisman inspired by the stories of the sea. The Compass Shell Talisman represents the search for your true self — a symbol of following the quiet pull that guides you home, even when you have lost your way. Designed as either an iron-on patch or bag charm, these tiny artworks carry echoes of the folklore and stories people have shared with the sea for centuries. The Selkie Story In old tales, a Selkie sheds their seal skin to take human form, hiding it among the rocks. But when their skin is stolen, they are trapped on land, longing for the sea and the life they left behind. Eventually, the lost skin is found. The Selkie slips it on, returns to their true nature, and disappears back into the sea — free once more. Details ...
