She is a witch...

The definition of a witch is: an ugly old hag credited with supernatural powers by practicing usually black magic witchcraft.

However this little witch does not fall into that catagory. This witch softie is, from the point of her black hat to the tip of her toes about 11" tall. She is made is made from black wool, her face and arms are a green almost suede-like fabric. Her hat is made with a black satiny fabric. The striped stockings are a knit fabric. On each black boot there is a square green button that resembles a little buckle. Her droopy eyes and the jack o' lantern she carries are both made from Sculpey. I painted her eyes and tried to match the color of her droopy eye lids to match the color of green fabric of her face. She is all dressed up for Halloween and ready to just do some trick or treating for candy.

POOF...the Snicker candy bars are gone!

"Who ever is bitten by a werewolf....

"Who ever is bitten by a werewolf and lives becomes a werewolf himself"~Maleva, the gypsy woman played by Maria Ouspenskaya.

Lon Chaney Jr. starred as the Wolfman in the indisputed horror classic.. Wolfman, which was released December 12, 1941.

This werewolf softie is made from wool fabric with a felted wool and fur face. He has little fur ears that are lined with brown velveteen fabric. His teeth are made from Sculpey. Brown eyes peer out through his furry face! He wears a green check jacket made from a brothcloth blend fabric with distressed buttons. His shirt is made from a lightweight canvas with a pistachio nut logo on the front. He wears black wool fabric pants and even has a rope belt!

"Even when a man is pure of heart and says his prayers at night, may still become a wolf when the wolfbane blooms and the autumn moon is bright"~ Curt Siodmak

Vampire Pumpkin

A Halloween vampire pumpkin made from a grey and black print velveteen wears a black netting around her stem and also has fangs that are made from Sculpey. She patiently waits for some unsuspecting orange pumpkin to get her fangs into!

Don't be Somebody's Zombie!!!!!

A zombie appears in spooky books, films and popular culture. They are typically depicted as mindless and under the control by someone or SOMETHING by the casting of some magic spell.
Is there a possiblity to be under such an influence in everyday life { just not in the way we visualize it would be }... like in films ? Would you know if it if you actually were under such an influence? If you can be affected by love...why not evil?

This little guy, thankfully is a "good zombie" and made from new and recycled materials.

Keeper of my Keys

I have a keeper of my keys! I made this little zombie key fob for my keys and it is made from both new and recycled fabrics....old and new bottons, too. He will do well...crazy little zombie!
