Witches are so much a part of Halloween and I think they are so fun. I found this "styl'n" lady at a flea market a few years ago. When I saw her I knew immediately what I was going to do with her and her daring feathery hat.......
make her into a witch with a feathered hat.
Whoever she was, I hope she or none of her relatives ever recognize this photo...wouldn't want to hurt her feelings. I'm sure she was a very nice lady!
I painted a background, adapted her hat and cape and then glued to an 8"x10" canvas.
I did some of the pumpkins on separate paper and collaged them on so the witch was "popping" out the patch and added more pumpkins and vine to the canvas. Of course I had a glitter attack and added it to the hat brine, pin and star.
I continued the painting onto the canvas's side and rimmed it with a ribbon
so no frame is needed.
There she is on my mantle, she will also be on for sale on my Etsy site.
This is definitely NOT a scary witch, but definitely magical. You know how I love magical things. I don't know about you, but I prefer to distance myself from entertainment that is really scary...too many scary things out there these days.
Sometimes a little playful magic is a better approach.

I love how the ribbon replaces the frame. That is such a good idea! There is nothing like taking something old and adding your own twist to it :)
