Little Witch Altered Shoe

Hello, I'm so glad you could stop by today.

I've just put the kettle on to heat for tea.

Let me show you what I've been up to lately.

I started by printing off a copy

of an antique photo of

a little girl in period dress.

I glued her onto a piece of black foam board.

and cut her out with my Exact-o-knife.

She is wearing a hat with a wide brim

so I added a long narrow black cone to the back of her

head to represent a witch's hat.

I fashioned a little broom for her to hold

 from a toothpick and some colored grass

cut from a floral pick.

I stood her up in a little girl's

 black patent leather shoe

purchased at a resale shop.

A glittery pumpkin

and silk leaf are tucked into

the back of the shoe.

I cut the band off a 

plastic bat ring

and hot glued it to a black wire

so that it appears to follow along above

the "little witch".

A little glittery orange tulle

and some black and silver garland

finishes it off.

All set for scaring up a Happy Halloween.

I hear the kettle whistling... time for tea.

Won't you pour a cup and stay awhile to look around.

Please leave a comment so I can return the visit.
