A Special Note~

A few words about offerings~

First, THANK YOU!

  I truly appreciate all of your time and efforts trying to secure a piece. I am thankful every day, that I have the opportunity to have the job title ~ Artist. 

  I know that so many of you try for pieces,but there are never enough for everyone. This is so hard! I revisit quite a few characters and keep them one of a kind. I'm sorry, but I do not take comissions. Their magic comes from not sitting and making my little lovelies like I was a factory. I urge you to keep trying! More often than not, there are first time Goode Wife collectors.

I am older now and slower. I am navigating a challenge, but I still have so much to create!   

 

Day of the Dead

Catrina

Please welcome Catrina.

I have wanted to do a Day of The Dead doll

for many years now. 

As an Artist, I want it to fully reflect

who I am and my vision.

These things come in their own time,

 and their vision is not to be rushed.

I also needed to be ready in skill 

as well as technically.

No matter how good you are, 

you always learn from your work.

So I present to you,  

my Catrina...

my way to honor death.

She is made of paperclay

and fabric

 She is a light waeight hanging dolly, 

 but can also prop on a shelf or wee chair.

Her face designs are drawn with

archival ink pens 

so that they wont fade with time. 

She is approximatley

12 1/4 inches tall. 

she carries a small skelly basket

filled with preserved Sweet Annie

from my garden.

My original piece will come to you signed and dated.

KITCHEN HAGS

The name Kitchen Witches,

Seemed way too nice.

They are no nonsense and with a whack of a wooden spoon,

 you know they teach you how to do something,

just once.

They are salty, like pasta water~

They put the sour in sourdough bread.

One of their no nonsense looks, 

will leave a bitter taste in your mouth,

like broccoli rabe...
