It`s In Black and White;The Marvels Of Monochrome

The beautiful white blooms on this gorgeous tea cosie are extra large and quite thick,each having three 'petal'layers of wool.They all sit securely sewn on top,sure to keep your tea pot hot!




This pretty little somehow very traditional looking ragdoll is festooned with handcrafted detailing.She has several layers of underskirt and  hand sewn detailing on her wool shoes.Traditional or Victorian?


Active Ann wears dashing upcycled black velvet trousers,perhaps better described as 'pantaloons'


This beautiful little goth girl ragdoll is dressed entirely in black wool.With only the addition of black ribbons.Her waistcoat and skirt are crocheted,which adds a slightly lacy look to her outfit.It all looks a bit "Victorian Mourning Dress"but really she is a goth,she has purple wool lips!


Handsome Black and White Striped Pussycat.If you look closely at his hand sewn in face details you can make out in pink wool his happy,cat that got the cream contented smile!


This lovely ghostly tea cosie is crocheted thickly [stands up unsupported]in a all white wool and the face details are sewn on black velvet.

Meshuggeneh Velt Etsy Shop

Empty Suit Acrylic Painting On Cardboard


Just opened a shop on Etsy for paintings,drawings and little witch figures.Had a browse around and am suddenly not optimistic,there are some fabulous arts shops on Etsy with under 20 sales!

Small and Stout Little Red Witchling Figure
Little Pink Frame 'You Wouldnt Would You Woman'Badge
Witch As Rock Goddess With Aflame Updo

This is from my Etsy shop 'about me'
I do not believe in witches or the supernatural at all.I paint witches ironically and sarcastically which i always assume is obvious but keep being proved wrong.I find painting witches to be funny.That a woman can still get called a witch today is not particularly hilarious but I choose to have fun with the ridiculous and explore the many outfits and styles a modern witch could go for....

As Goya said ;"when reason sleeps demons take flight" i think this applies when people look at women,my witch pictures are an exploration of this.The image of the witch to me simply means an unnecessarily demonised woman,quite likely completely blameless.I do not know but do not believe that there is or ever was such a thing as a supernatural witch [bitch`s definitely exist though i`ve met lot`s of them!]

The little baby Witchling sculptures lead on from the pictures.Evolved from the generic 'ladies' symbol found on toilet doors all over the world.The most basic symbol of a woman turned into a witch child.Really more vacant of 'evil' than your average tin of biscuits.
