From Pierrot to witch

I had this old Pierrot that had become a rag , and that I almost threw away more than a dozen times ... I didn't know why I didn't thow it away ... Now I know , after our afternoon of witch making , I decided to transform him into a witch ... so you have a few steps of the transformation here :


the creature was falling to pieces ....

I had even given part of his costume to Chocoblue , who was very happy of it and his new eyes ...

I started mending him .... I kept the original eyes ... ( he must be more than 20 years old )

And this is her now :

She loves pearls , there are some on her dress , she has a pearl front , and she likes brown!

And , thank you again, mideco, for the hat ( I had to enlarge it , Pierrot had a big round head , and the boots - I made them fit her ! )

Pink witch

Today, I have completed this little witch.... I decided for a complete pink , the pattern already was of a cute, funny witch, so I had the idea to change the usual colours of Halloween , I know a little lady who loves pink , I hope she will like my pink witch !!!! Thank you, mideco for the pattern !!!!

papier mâché...

Well , it wasn't just papier mâché , we used that technique only for the head , of course ... The rest is mostly sewing , and there is a little painting for the face ... And a lot of imagining ...My niece made the face for this one ....I helped her finish it .
Here are different stages ...

This is for the hat ...

At the beginning , it could be anything , but it is amazing how you can put an expression on that ... Even more than on a teddy bear .

I used old tights to fix the hair on the head ...

It is starting to look like something ...

And now ..?? I think it is nice to start with a witch's face , because it doesn't have to be perfect , quite the contrary .But I liked the look of mine ... Is it sad ???

There she is ...( I used one of my sister's old skirts to dress her ) So this is all recycling again, isn't it ? ...

The two of them ready to go to the party.
