An Altered Witch

Happy Fall everyone! Fall is my favorite season of the year! All the colors, pumpkins, the crisp feel in the air, cinnamon and pies and then Christmas is right around the corner!

I did a little Halloween project that I thought I'd share........................



I made an altered witch! I love altered art and have only dabbled in it just a bit and oh my how fun it was to get to cut, paste and glitter for a change! I'm still sweeping up the glitter, but I have to tell you that Martha Stewart glitter is the absolute best! It has the most shine and is so fine and the colors are vibrant and gorgeous! Those feathers on the other hand sure made a mess, but I think they spiffed the old witch up!

I had that wonderful moon piece and it was the start of this project. He just needed a witch and I've had the image of this lady for quite sometime and she has such a kindly look on her face and I only like kindly, make believe, do good witches, so she was it. I wonder what this woman would think if she could see herself now. LOL!

I thoroughly enjoyed this project and I'm thinking of maybe making one to sell on Etsy. Oh and by the way that lovely orangey colored background in case you're wondering--well it's awful to say, but that is my bedroom wall!! I thought it made the perfect background color--however it makes an AWFUL bedroom color! Yup, it's got to get painted, but that's another day and another story.

Tomorrow I'm off to Montana again for a few days to enjoy the beautiful fall colors in the mountains and I hope to finally see a bear!! I've got my camera all ready, so keep your fingers crossed!
