A Cup of TEE HEE a COOKIE and YOO HOO....

And so the countdown to All Hallows Eve begins. This paper witch was created especially for the Art Doll Quarterly Autumn 2007 issue.

All of the ephemera needed to recreate her and detailed instructions are included to whip up a wicked little witch of your own.

You supply a few pieces of cardstock, decoupage and some fancy trimmings,

I like to work on top of a piece of wax paper, makes for a quick clean up, and I don't know about you, but I'm pretty messy when I get going! Ahem, please ignore clutter!

Awaiting her crepe paper bustle...

She would make a grand table center piece or maybe stand her in a giant bowl of candy!

And last but not least Punk Rock Parisian by Jackie Dunn , I just love that this is how she saw my little paper doll!

It's your combination of prints and engravings that make my head spin - in the spirit of Halloween of course-(not in the Linda Blair Exorcist way)

Sandra, your witch is fantastic! If only they had these delightful publications in Paris! Sigh. I shall have to send a list of "must have" magazines to my daughter to bring with her in December.

Sandra, umm, I have no words... That witch is totally incredible!!! Oh my goodness... Just love her!

Jackie said...

Your witch is too awesome! The bustle definitley seals the deal, along with the array of pappers you used (you gots some color theory skillz woman!)
And SUPER THANKS for featuring my take on your paper doll gal. It's a total honor to have something I made (partly) on your blog.

Sandra,

I love your blog. I first saw your post on ink blots when my daughter (Katydiddys) sent me here to see them. I'm not usually a big fan of Halloween but I really like your take on this.

Just wanted to thank you for the ink blot inspiration. If you get a chance, check my blog lauratrailsendranch.blogspot.com and see what you started.

P.S. I, too, am fairly new to blogging and cannot get links to work. Sorry.

I really "need" to make one of these dolls for me after seeing all of the art dolls in Blogworld. Your creation is wonderful!

Heather ~ Pretty Petals said...

Oh I LOVE this hat doll. What a wonderful creation! Lovin that bustle :)

Jo Capper-Sandon said...

Superb witch. The bustle skirt really frames the entire piece well. (I use a white card or paper on my work desk and have been known to use it as backgrounds on later pieces rofl)
