PUNKIN

§ The Pumpkin Eater...

Last week we had a cold front move in. Cold for South Coastal Texas that is. The day before it arrived, we had wind and rain. So, I stayed home for most of the day. By mid-afternoon, I became bored and brought out my sketch pad. Of course, I began drawing the outer borders of something a bit Halloween'ish. After done with it, I titled it "Pete the Pumpkin Eater" ---the digestion went right thru him. Poor Peter...

From outline sketch to the finished image:

§ More Close up Witch Magic [part TWO]...

IVORY


Her secret potion, her bodice, and her veiled hat

RAGDOLL

I found Ragdoll at a craft fair in Rockport, Texas and brought her home with me. Years before Covid set into our area. I think, if I were a child of two or three years old, I'd be toting her with me everywhere. She's just too cute to hide in storage. But, I'm not, so back in storage with the rest of the gang she goes after the season.

LILITH
In folklore [as far back as the 7th century], Lilith is a red haired demon [Jewish meaning night monster]...

Orange blossom on her hat, her broom 'bristles' are orange voile, a close up of her fiery red hair, and the ornate, bejeweled, sleeve cuff.

AMETHYST


My main reason I bought this one was the purple! I love purple. My birthstone is also amethyst. lol You see her feathered hat crown, her 300 year old hands, and the back of her dress with layers of blue and purple under the black train.

Part I

§ Close up views...

I will do only a small number of close-up images. Just an FYI for Ginny...if you use Windows, to enlarge the photo from Lightbox use your keyboard keys ctrl+ [both at once] -the more you click keys the larger the image [or text] will be. And if you are using your smartphone -pinch fingers together on image and spread upward or outward...image or text will enlarge for you!  Also, ctrl- to make smaller.  Here are four for the time being. I'm making names up as I go...
