GLADYS A WONDERFUL WITCH



Gladys is a unique one of a kind witch creation made by me. She is a large witch 52" tall, which includes her wonderful witches hat and is she about 18" wide, in the second photo shown she is sitting in a white chair which is a regular people dining chair.  Gladys is
sculpted paperclay over a wire and cotton batting armature and is dressed in a wonderful combination of black and white fabrics with some burnt orange accents, her long full white hair is made from wool roving.  She is wired so her arms and legs are able to be positioned in a variety of poses.  Gladys is dressed and embellished with a variety of fabrics, lace, feathers, jewelry and trims, some of which are vintage. When I create my witches it seems that at a certain point they take over the design process and help me to conjure up a truly unique character and Gladys dictated that she would be a fun loving but elegant witch. Gladys comes with her very own glass of witches brew (non spillable) complete with a spider stir stick and an eyeball olive. Until my creations go to their new homes I enjoy them by displaying them in my home, Gladys perches on a bench in my living room and more than once she has encouraged me to sit down with her and share a witchy story and a drink, she really makes a great drinking companion.
