Hesper & Ruta Wormwood


 

The Wormwood sisters are known far and wide for their wonderful sassafras bark and pumpkin cookies.  With Halloween rapidly approaching these two are busy at work, though Ruta is trying to persuade Hesper into taking a long overdue broom ride in order to relax.  There's nothing like zipping through the clouds on a well tuned broom to re-energize ones baking batteries!  Zoooooom and they're off!

 

The Wormwood Sisters are a new extension of the PODD series.  They are made of painted muslin with needle sculpted features.  They are taller and thinner than the regular PODDS measuring approximately 14 inches.  They are weighted and free standing.  Hesper has white sheep wool needle felted on for hair with a black wool witches hat tilted on one side.  Her skirt is black flannel and the little pumpkin dangling from her broom is also wool.

 

Ruta has always liked bright colors especially red.  She is constructed the same way as her sister but just in brighter colors, dark hair and has black beads for buttons.

 

Both these ladies are "Soft in the Head" originals designed by P.K. Gracia and will come signed and dated.

 

Like all "Soft in the Head" characters "The Wormwood Sisters" are not for children under 12 and meant for collectors and decorative use only.

 OOPS!

Sometimes the best laid spells can go awry!  By the look on this little ladies face I don't think she was meant to be a frog but maybe she was suppose to  conjure up a frog instead?????  Better send out for the "Witch Doctor"!

 

"OOPS" is my newest frog and not very big.  She is made from painted muslin with clay hands and feet.  This little froggie measures approximately 9 inches when sitting on the painted mach box and only about 5 inches when sitting on her own.  "OOPS" is dressed in great "Halloween" colors with a black tulle under skirt and tulle around her neck.  Her arms and legs are wire and can be posed.  She is wearing a floppy black wool witch hat decorated with rusty wire curly-ques.  The mache box is painted and waxed and "OOPS" straddles it very well.  This vignette is definitely smile worthy!

  Madame Chartreuse

 

Madame Chartreuse was never liked much by her fellow witches.  No matter how good her life seem to be she always felt the need to be envious of everyone else's.  Chartreuse was so consumed with this retched behavior that one morning, when she woke and looked into the mirror, she found she had actually turned "Green with Envy"....Poor Chartreuse...she now wears her poor behavior like a badge for all to see.  Maybe in time it will fade as Chartreuse begins to realize her bad choice.....

 

"Madame Chartreuse" is made from painted and distressed muslin.  She measures 9 inches tall and is mounted on top of a rusty jar lid.  She also has two rusty hand forged vintage square nails for feet.  Her face is needle sculpted with glass beads for eyes and a pair of rather large teeth.  Her ears and hat are wool and she is wearing a lime green and black dress with a black flannel under skirt.  Her arms and hands are painted wrapped wire and her tail is wrapped wire.  The broom is wire and sisal.  This little lady is a great addition for the mouse and Halloween lover.
