Ready for take-off

I call her the bowling pin witch.  I used duck cloth for her bowling-pin shape, and added arms with paper clay and a wire armature.
I made her hat out of duck cloth too, and then painted her with acrylics.
Her hair is dyed sheep's wool and the broom is a twig with sissal twine bristles.
 
She's holding a pumpkin made of paper mache.

Stay tuned.  More witches will be making their debuts soon.  It's getting pretty raucous here in the Treehouse with all the cackling.
