Willa, a Flutter Witch
Brooms are so last week. This little lady prefers a more glamorous mode of transportation.
Meet Willa. She is 18.5″ from the tip of her hat to her base. Willa is 15″ tall without her hat. Shes been made of muslin & stuffed with fiberfill. She’s been hand-painted & sanded a couple of times, giving her a lovely, aged patina. Willa’s base is rag-stuffed & weighted so that she stands nicely on her own. She’s been sealed with a combination of glossy & matte sealers so that she may be lightly dusted after display. Willa’s arms are button jointed allowing them to be slightly posed.
Willa’s face has been painted with a variety of media. Her nose & bottom lip have been needle-sculpted by hand. Her hands have been needle-sculpted as well. She sports brown painted gloves.
Willa’s wings have been made from muslin & cotton batting. They are machine quilted, hand-painted & accented with silvery glitter. They are attached to Willa with a vintage button & embroidery thread.
Willa’s blouse is made of white muslin. It features hand-gathered sleeves & hand-stitching around the neckline and back. It is finished off with tiny, black buttons at the neckline. Willa’s skirt is made of two layers of black cotton fabric. The top layer has been torn into strips, giving Willa’s skirt volume & movement. The hem is hand-stitched. Willa’s hat is trimmed in silvery glitter.
Willa’s curly grey hair is 100% mohair. It has been applied with light glue for extra security & needle-felting.
Willa is currently available on eBay & ends tonight, Oct. 18th at 9:15 PM EST. Click here to view or bid!
Rowena & Ronnie – A Halloweeny Duo
Most kids like candy in their trick or treat buckets. Ronnie likes corn. Then again, Ronnie’s a raccoon.
Meet Rowena & Ronnie. Rowena is 14 inches from head to toe. She’s 17 inches counting her pointy hat. Shes been made of muslin & stuffed with fiberfill. She’s been hand-painted & sanded a couple of times, giving her a lovely, aged patina. She’s been sealed with a combination of glossy & matte sealers so that she may be lightly dusted after display. Rowena has an embroidery thread loop attached, making her suitable for hanging. She can only sit with assistance.
Rowena’s face has been painted with a variety of media. Her nose & bottom lip have been needle-sculpted by hand. Her hands have been needle-sculpted as well. She sports brown painted gloves & brown boots with tan socks & grey laces.
Rowena’s blouse is made of white muslin. It features hand-gathered sleeves & hand-stitching around the neckline and back. It is finished off with tiny, black buttons at the neckline. Rowena’s skirt is made of 100% cotton. I just love this Moda print! It’s perfect for whimsical Halloween dollies. The hem is hand-stitched with contrasting black thread. Rowena’s hat is made of brown wool. It has embroidery thread accents & is held in place with straight pins.
Isn’t Ronnie just the sweetest? He’s been made of muslin, stuffed with fiberfill, hand-painted, sanded, aged & sealed with matte sealer. He’s 5″ tall & is attached to Rowena with embroidery thread. He can be removed & displayed as an ornament if you wish to cut the embroidery thread & retie him.
Rowena’s curly black hair is 100% mohair. It has been applied with light glue for extra security & needle-felting.
Rowena & Ronnie are available on eBay. They will end Sunday, August 2nd. Click here to view or bid on this sweet pair.
