A Halloween Witch & Kitty Set with a Clapsaddle Inspired Pumpkin.

September 15, 2008 By Rebecca 6 Comments

I have had such a great time making this set for you! This is Drucilla, (named after my second grade teacher who had such a witchy name although she was as nice as could be!) Drucilla & her Halloween kitty are my original designs. Her pumpkin has been painted in the likeness of one of my favorite Ellen Clapsaddle vintage Halloween postcards! Both dolls have been painted & sanded, top to bottom many, many times & sealed so they may be beautifully preserved. Drucilla has a weighted torso allowing her to sit nicely. She was lightly wired arms & measures 32″ tall from the tip of her hat (which is removable) to the bottom of her feet.

Drucilla’s face has been painted with a variety of media. Her nose & bottom lip have been needle-sculpted by hand.

Drucilla’s fingers have been needle-sculpted as well. She sports tan gloves. She also sports pretty brown complete with thick red laces & tan socks.

Drucilla wears a cape made from a red, floral, 100% cotton print. It is lined with osnaburg, fastens at the neck with a chocolate ribbon & is machine stitched along the outer edge. Drucilla’s skirt is a tan cotton print. Her blouse is made from muslin & features a floppy collar & hand-gathered sleeves. Her witch hat is made of muslin & has been painted & sanded many times. It has a painted black band & a lovely, vintage black rhinestone brooch.

I’m in love with these two pieces! And I think it’s okay for me to admit that! This pumpkin measures 10 inches from the handle to its bottom. It is 7.5 inches wide. The pumpkin has been made of osnaburg, is lined on the inside & is hand-painted inside & out. It is lightly stuffed & Kitty rests inside. This pumpkin can be displayed propped against something only. It will not stand on its own.

This sweet Tabby is 9.5 inches tall.

Drucilla’s hair is black 100% mohair. It was lightly glued & carefully needle-felted to her head. It is styled into a big messy bun in the back & is such a sweet hairstyle on this little witch.

Drucilla is available on Ebay & will end on Sunday, Sept. 21 at 9PM EST. Click here to view or bid.

A Primitive Witch in Red & her Halloween Gang

August 11, 2008 By Rebecca 2 Comments

I’m so pleased to introduce you to little Sophie. She is my original design & is guaranteed one of kind art! Sophie has been made of muslin & stuffed with fiberfill. She’s been painted & sanded, top to bottom many, many times & is sealed with a combination of sealers so that she may be beautifully preserved. Sophie has a hemp loop attached to her back for hanging or she can sit with assistance as her knees & hips are sewn through. Sophie is 22 inches tall with her hat, 18″ without it.

Sophie’s face has been painted with a variety of mediums. Her nose & bottom lip have been needle-sculpted by hand. I’ve also needle sculpted by hand Sophie’s fingers. Her arms are lightly wired allowing her to be gently posed.

Sophie sports dainty yellow gloves & pretty boots complete with red laces & buttery yellow socks. Sophie’s laces are highlighted & shaded, making them so very interesting.

Sophie wears a hat & cape made from dark red velveteen. Sophie’s cape is lined with taupe osnaburg & ties at the neck with chocolate ribbon. Her hat is finished with antique mother of pearl buttons. Sophie’s skirt is made from cream colored corduroy & features contrasting red hand-stitching at the hem. Her blouse is made from muslin, features tons of hand stitching & a taupe pearl bead at the neckline. Sophie’s cape & hat can be removed.

I guess when you’re as cute as this girl is, it’s normal to have a slew of little buddies. And boy are these little guys teensy tiny.
Jack O’ Lantern measures 4″ tall, Ghostie is just shy of 3″ & that sweet little Kitty is just shy of 4″. They’ve been made of muslin, stuffed with fiberfill & hand-painted & sanded top to bottom many times.

What a great home this little Halloween Trio gets to hang out in! Sophie’s bag has been made of taupe osnaburg. It is completely lined & features (my first attempt at) embroidery, in shades of red & burnt orange, along the top. Three vintage & antique buttons adorn the front of the bag.

Sophie’s hair is brown 100% mohair. It was lightly glued & carefully needle-felted to her head. It is styled into a big messy bun in the back & is such a sweet hairstyle on this little witch.

Sophie will be available on Ebay beginning Sunday, August 10th at 9:15 PM EST. She will end August 17th at 9:15 PM EST. Click here to bring this spell maker home with you!
