Blog Giveaway! 4 x 6 Encaustic Art



Guess it's about time I have a blog giveaway. This is how is goes......I have this doll which is a work in progress piece. She isn't wearing the outfit planned for her.... I just draped some lace to see how she was coming along. :o) The first person to guess who she is and post it in a comment, will receive this awesome 4 x 6 encaustic painting that I made. Encaustic art is made using colored wax and an iron. If you look closely, you can see images of castles in a distance. Brilliant colors in this fantasy art. :o) Good luck! Will annouce the winner as soon as the right guess comes along. Hint. This person is from the early 60's. :o)

Primitive Witch Legend doll~OOAK~SOLD



Someone emailed me and told me about the witch legend which I thought was very interesting so I asked her if I could use her description for my next witch. Thanks Gerri!
The women of olde (witches who were burned, not in this country) were battered and bruised, teeth knocked out, dragged by wagons and were unrecognizable. They were so sick they were a shade of green. Well, this gal is a shade of green, teeth missing and a bit bruised. She is still recognizable though. :o) I made her using muslin fabric, coffee stained her and added a touch of light green color to her skin tone. Lots of attention to detail in her soft sculptured facial features. She has now moved to CT.:o)
