I LOVE Halloween..and Witches! I'm one of those people that leave their halloween decorations up all year round..It's just part of my decor! Since the season is upon us, I thought I'd post one of the witches I'd done a while back. This is Hattie Henbane. She is a ooak doll sculpted out of polymer clay over a wire armature. She is handpainted with oils.
Her clothing was made using antique fabrics from an 1800's mourning dress combined with other vintage fabrics and trims. Her black cat "spider" is sculpted in polymer clay
Hattie is free standing..except when she is flying on her broom!Hattie Henbane's favorite stew...
Lips of frog and first morn's dew...
Add 7 rays of Moonshine and heat by the sun,
Boil and Bubble till it looks done.
Stir it twice, than cook it some more,
Remove your shoes at the front door,
Pull up a chair...
Then let down your hair...
3 times slap your knees, and if you don't like it...
Call out for Chinese!
Dark Blessings, Gail
