Wilhelmina a Spider Loving Witch

Wilhelmina is an Original One of a Kind Witch designed and created by me.  She is approximately 26" Tall and 14" Wide. Wilhelmina was created over a wire and wooden armature, her hands, feet and face were sculpted from paperclay, she is a sitter style doll and her arms and legs are wired enabling different posing positions.   Willie was handpainted and sealed then costumed in various fabrics, ribbons, art papers and trims.  Wilhelmina loves spiders and has a beautiful spider brooch on her shoulder, a big black one on her hat and the hem of her dress is finished in black spider web. She has gray wool roving hair, some small drop earrings and some great white feathers on her hat.  




Wilhelmina is dressed in various shades of grey and black with ivory accents, her pantaloons are a Halloween orange that look great against her green polka dotted socks. My witches always seem to take over during their creation and Wilhelmina was no exception, she has a very sweet self satisfied expression that is really endearing.  I adored creating her and am just thrilled with Wilhemina and her witchy confidence.
