Witchy Wednesday, Gallery of Witches.

-



Welcome to another Witchy Wednesday.

 I am having a little study week this week so instead of my usual written article I thought it would be nice to feature a gallery of costumes including some fabulous witch costume patterns from the Victorian era and early 20th century.

 Enjoy!








































All these images were sourced from Pinterest for you to enjoy and to my knowledge are domain free because of their age. If you are thinking of using any of them for financial gain I would recommend double checking to make sure. 😊


A little note on AI images. 

I always try to post original content, not AI generated, on my blog which is just my preference. I am not against technology to create art, I myself have created art using a stylus on a digital canvas which requires as much skill as using a traditional pencil on paper and enjoyed using painting apps to add wording and frames to my photos. But I am personally not too keen on any work produced by an AI generator where you type in words wait for the computer to create an image and it declares you have created a master piece! Its just not for me! I am a paint, pencil, pen and paper girl! But it's a free world! Any AI images that sneak onto my blog will be totally by accident and not intentional. I much prefer to post original photos, imagery, drawings and paintings. 

Thank you for visiting my blog please visit again and join me for next week's Witchy Wednesday.

A couple of examples of Spirit dolls made by me. The idea of my spirit doll is that is handcrafted using bits and bobs and that anyone of any age can make one.Though I recommend adult supervision for younger children as some sharpe object are used in the making of the doll. Firstly the really fun bit gathering your spirit doll making supplies. You will need twigs, wool or string, feathers, stones, fabric scraps, beads, sequins, really whatever takes your fancy. You can pick twigs from the ground in your garden, or whilst walking the dog. Please don't snap twigs from trees as it won't add good vibes to your doll plus it is not kind to the tree! You will also need some glue, pipe cleaners or wire scissors and an awl Now the idea behind my spirit doll is to take some time out from the rat race and to spend a couple of hours rekindling the joy of making something like you used to do with a mind of a child. No preplanned sketches, no sewing, no rules! They don't have to ...

Welcome to part two on how to make a spirit doll. In the last post we made the basic body for your spirit doll using a stick/twig, pipe cleaner and wool. Now it is time to add some clothes and give your doll character. Remember spirit dolls are to be created with positivity and with whatever you have to hand. Thus this tutorial is a guide rather than a rigid tutorial. Taking a piece of fabric wrap loosely around the body of your doll. Tie in the middle, I used a spare pipe cleaner but you can use a ribbon, string or length of wool. This will be your dolls dress or robes. Remember your spirit doll can be male or female. You can also make it as an animal!  Now for a head.  You can use a bead, a ready made cabochon, a stone or you can create a head using air dry clay or fimo. You can of course have it head free!  I made a sun head from air dry clay which I glued onto place and then painted it with acrylic paints.  Different head ideas...
