Myrtle Spellman A Lovely Witch

Myrtle is a one of a kind folk art piece hand sculpted, painted and created by me. She has a hang tag of a cat and a jack o lantern pumpkin guy I made hanging on a wire around the jar. She has a glitzy hat band embellished with a black and orange rose and two hat pins. One is a skeleton head and the other hat pin is a pumpkin.

Myrtle is an exception in the local witch society. She is shunned by the local crones for her beautiful face and the great pride she takes in her appearance. If you look closely you can see she enhances her beauty with some rouge and lipstick. It is said she is half human and half witch. You can tell she has witch blood in her veins by the wart on her chin. 
Myrtle will arouse many senses in the viewer with all her textures, colors and glitzy detail. Myrtle boasts a quote around the entire bottom of the jar which states "Double, double toil and trouble, fire burn and cauldron bubble". 

Myrtle was created in colors of burnt orange, black and antique white. 
She measures 10 1/2 " tall by 3 " across. Myrtle will come artist signed and dated with a 1/1 indicating she is a one of a kind and will not be recreated. She has been faux antiqued with a umber wash.

IDEAS: As pictured. You could place candy in her or other treasures. However you wish to present her, she is sure to be a hit at celebrations. this art piece would be delightful sitting upon your desk in waiting to offer your family or clients a morsel of candy. If your interested in  purchasing Myrtle or just looking at some more pictures of her, you can check her out on my ETSY. 

Thurston Youngblood

SOLD-THANK YOU JENNIFER IN CALIFORNIA!

Count Thurston Youngblood

Thurston is a one of a kind, Original Folk Art Halloween Candy container created by me Penny Grotz. He can store wrapped candy's or other items. Below is the story of this mesmerizing dude. 

Thurston Youngblood is a Dracula, Vampire, Dracule whatever you choose to call him. Thurston is a clever one. On halloween night he tempts children into his lair by sitting in a candy dish. The kids are lured into his diabolical scheme and when they reach in for candy Thurston bites them on the neck and sucks their blood. However Thurston does not harm the children other than a minor bite on the neck. With a little antibiotic ointment and a band aid it should heal up quite nicely. As with most vampire, Thurston fancies himself as quite the ladies man. 
Thurston was created from Paper Mache and paper clay. His base is painted with a Halloween scene of a cemetery, skeleton, jack o lanterns or pumpkins. man in the moon, bats and a cat. 
Thurston measures 8 1/2 " tall by 3 1/2 " across. 
Thurston has been faux antiqued with washes of umber. Several coats of polyurethane were applied for protection. He will come artist signed and dated with a 1/1 indicating he is a one of a kind and will not be recreated. If your interested in purchasing Thurston you can find him on my ETSY
