Eb and Aggie

EB AND AGGIE
Lots of drama going on in the house today. Aggie and Eb came out they are "going out". Who Knew? Eb has asked Aggie to the Halloween ball. Aggie does suffer from some pyschosis as you can see in her eyes. In fact she got jealous of Eb flirting with another and tried to revenge Eb with some poison cookies. But he didn't die as he was already dead.These crazy kids are sold separately on  MY ETSY

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.

Ms. Hattie May Hallows

 

Hattie May Hallows is all decked out for the Halloween Ball. Hattie holds a candy corn in one hand and a little jack o lantern pail in the other. Rumor has it she and Count Thurston Trueblood are romantically linked and he is picking her up in his hearst at midnight. Hattie is considered a great beauty amongst the Halloween society. Personally I think she needs to trim the mole hair growing out of her chin. Hattie is attired in only the finest.Her hat is adorned with a hat band of german glass glitter. She has spider webs on the front and back of her cloak. There is a spider that dangles from the web on her back.

Hattie was constructed from papier Mache and paper clay. Her size is 8" tallny 4 1/2"across. She was then meticulously painted in Halloween colors of orange, black, yellow and vintage white. Several coats of acrylic varnish were applied for protection.  Thanks for looking. Penny
