Product Description
The Blood Is the Life Planchette is the third in a series of planchette designs that was originally released as an exclusive chart for Dark October Sรฉance 2023 participants. The model was stitched using DMC on 40 count Pewter by Picture This Plus. The beautiful handcrafted board was generously provided by Homestead Needleworkes. The stitch count for the design is 74w x 95h.
This design features a bat, flickering candles, and drops of blood set within the borders of the planchette itself. This planchette was inspired by (and named after) a quote from Bram Stoker’s Dracula, one of my favorite books and a movie I watch every year on Halloween night.
Planchette is a French word meaning “little plank”. A planchette is a triangular or heart-shaped tool that often had a pencil attached and was used for automatic writing. Planchettes have typically been used in conjunction with ouija boards (also known as spirit slates or talking boards) to communicate with spirits. These devices gained popularity during the Victorian spiritualism movement and were often used in sรฉances.
