Thoughts have been whirling for a while for a way to enable visitors to "take home" or "make their own" version of these talismans. It had to be something on textiles to stay true to the objects and there was talk of a cross stitch kit and we also briefly considered a tea towel.
Now, we have a shop stock item which incorporates the ideas and motifs of the Black Pullet - iron on (or sew on) fabric badges. We commissioned two designs, photographed below are the original talismans and the copies (available to buy from the shop and online shop for £2).
The black design is said to "give discernment for the good or bad intentions of any person" while the yellow design is said to "endow the possessor with every virtue and talent as well as a desire to do good".

Oh my goodness. That's pretty special!
they look great but I noticed there was a circle missing of the black one and a couple of the gold marking at the bottom of the triangle
I do not recognize these as being from the Black Pullet and I have the book right here. Anyway why make the boring ones? also you say they"re for sale why is there no link to any shop? how do we buy them? have you made more since all that time?
