Witchy Poo No. One - Winnie

If you follow my instagram account you may recall, many moons ago, that I posed a bunch of little faces that I had sculpted. It's been a loooong time, but I've finally finished all the old biddies. I'll be posting all 13 of them over the next week or so.

Here's the first oldie, who I am fairly certain is named Winnifred (although she prefers Winnie).

I imagine she's a hedge witch of sorts. She has a bundle of twigs in her belt, keys at her waist and a stick broom.

She is just shy of 9" tall. All of these oldies are are made with paperclay faces, cotton muslin base, and embellished with scrap fabrics.

  2. She is gorgeous. You can almost feel the ancient wisdom emanating from her.

  3. I think there are some elements of debauchery and pride in that face. She's very old, complex, and still intense. Is her birthday coming up soon? She must be a Scorpio. That face is archetypal Scorpio woman. She knows how it's done "in the sticks!" Oh yes, remember those groups Daughters of Winnie? Weren't they banned in a few states? I really should check them out, they have more fun than the law allows. Sign me up!
