Witchy Poos Nos. 4 and 5 - Birch and Plum

Two more witchy poos today. First, Birch.

Witchy Poo: Birch - Nichola Battilana

She sort of reminds me of Aunt Clara from Bewitched (if Aunt Clara preferred spider covered cloaks over beflowered hats). She's a lover of creepy crawly things and recognises the might in little things.

Her frock is crawling with creepies and her staff topped with a spider webby nest.

Next is Plum.

She is strong and calm and soft.

I'm pretty sure her puff of black hair is magical. I asked her but she just gave me a knowing smile in return.

Like all of the witchy poos, Birch and Plum are is made with a free sculpted paperclay face. Their base is cotton muslin stuffed with fibre and weighted with mung beans. The hair is created with wool roving. They are embellished with scrap fabrics, bits and bobs.
