FALL SEASON

Siren measured 29" from the bend in her hat to the tip of her toes.  I think her shape is interesting and endearing.  She may either hang or sit.

Her hat has tinsel around the brim and the tip of her hat.  She is made of quality osnaburg which has an antiquing solution base with cinnamon  added then acrylic paints applied with oil art pencils used for the detailing.  She wears cotton bloomers and dress with a tulle over-skirt. 

The paper poem placard she holds says "By Pumpkins fat and witches lean, By coal black cats with eyes of green, By all the magic ever seen, I wish you luck this Hallo'ween" .  This is a Veenas design made by me.  Yours for $68 plus shipping.

 

Jack-O-Lynne measures 23" from the crook in her hat/stem to the tip of her toes.  She is made using quality osnaburg fabric which was coated with gesso and painted.  Her clothing is cotton with a tulle over-skirt and a finer tulle ruffled collar. 

Jack-O-Lynne can sit or could hang on the wall or door with the ribbon hanger.  She has hallowed wings and holds a rusted primitive pumpkin with rusty wire attached to her arms.   $68 plus shipping. 

 

Raven  is a comely witch who measures 29" from the bend in her hat to the tip of her toes.  I think the contrast of her width and thin arms and legs is endearing.  Scan either sit or hang by a ribbon hanger.

Belle LaGhosta  is 34" and can hang or sit.  She can be used as a decoration from before Thanksgiving thru Halloween since she has a Pilgrim look as well as friendly Witch.  Although it is hard to see, she is holding a very small Indian Corn on her left and a hang tag which has a copy of a vintage photo of two girls having a tea party with jack-O-lanterns.

Acorn Pincushions & Needle Keeps

The Acorn Pincushions can be used any time of the year as they are very functional and have an earthy appeal to them.

They are 7 1/2" tall, made with wool as the acorn cap and woven cotton for the nut part.  One is on a ceramic base (left) while the others have a stem.  The decorative stitching is done with embroidery floss. 

These made wonderful inexpensive but useful gifts.  Yours for $28 plus shipping.

 

A Primitive Cat Cushion (pillow) I fashioned after an early 1900s pillow as shown in the book "Seasons" which was in the home of Messrs. Cramer and Johnson's Seven Gates Farm in Maryland.  

Made of woven wool with embroidery floss embellishment, the cushion/pillow measures 17" across from left to tip of ear and 12" top to bottom from tip of ear to tail.

This could be used as a Halloween decoration or all year round.  $45 plus shipping. 

The bewitching Luna Strega (Moon Witch) measures 34" from bottom of feet to top of crook in her hat.  Her face has been hooked with #8 wool strips, has a crooked wool nose and the back of her head is the same color but solid wool.  This wool was hand dyed by me.

Luna Strega has purple cotton bloomers, stripe cotton legs and green arms.  Her shoes are painted and her hat is stiffened cotton which has been painted and stitched to her head.   She holds a wool pumpkin with a wire handle.   $125 plus shipping. 

The Scarecrow quilted piece is for a table top decoration and can be used all thru the fall and Halloween.  It measures 22 1/2" x 16".  The back is lined with the sunflower fabric you see at the top and right side of the piece.  That is real straw stitched to his arms and legs.  $38 plus shipping.
