Flags Of Fate
The lights flash, the ion bulbs glimmer. You ring the bell, you pull a handle, and you chose your Fate. I wanted a gizmo Dr. Miguelito Loveless might make Jim West use to decide his future. The action is all-mechanical, pull down on the handles and up pops a flag like the old-time semaphore traffic signals. I've installed Fates such as: THINK and CREATE, but you can specify any five or six-word fate you wish. The case opens to reveal the mechanism and to allow for bulb changes. The size is 16" wide by 30" tall and 6" deep. But as with all JohnsonArtisan creations, your version can be any size and configuration you wish. Adviso: My lovely assistant shown above has violated the cardinal principle - Only One Fate At A Time, please use this fortuneteller responsibly.
