That may have got your attention, but I should have said, it's a
witch's petticoat, so you may decide to click back over to Facebook or wherever you came from. For those that are still interested, you can scroll down to the next image...
This week I finished the witch character mentioned in my
last post, and also blogged about ages ago
here. As you can see from this
particular post about her, her design changed quite a bit. I wasn't happy with her look when I revisited it, and decided she needed to be fatter, with wider hips and I also had the idea of making her pastry chef hat less traditional, and more like a bone. She's a witch after all. I added layers of petticoats (with my signature brown & white, and blue & white stripes), and a range of interesting objects, including a rat, in her apron pocket. I also changed the bob haircut to be two buns, because she's a pastry chef and the buns resemble pastries.
This pastry chef witch is part of the world of witches I am creating for '
Myrtle the Witch'. There will be a book and a short film, but an exhibition may come first. My 'fans' will know that I have already been selling
Myrtle the Witch merchandise for the past 2 years and that more items continue to be made available for collectors all the time.
She is made from clay over armature wire, and unusually, she's in 1:12 scale. Finished with paints and mixed media. Enjoy some photos of her in progress below, and the newer sketch which reflects the changes I made to her design.
