Meet Winifred! |
Winifred, in her finery, presents a Pumpkin on All Hallow's Eve
There
are those most special of times when a gal needs to get all decked out in her
satin and lace frippery.
And as any self-respecting witch like Winifred knows,
All Hallow’s Eve is the most special of occasions to dress up for. It’s the gathering
for friends and family to honor those here and in the great beyond, with familiars
and frivolity abounding.
The vineyard’s first sweet wine will certainly flow in
an unending stream, as all convene together with the wise ladies of the land to
celebrate the great harvest and welcome in those visiting from beyond the veil.
The merriment shall ensue! Songs and dancing ‘round the bonfire and good cheer
and feasting are in order! Just the sort of things Winifred looks forward to –
and breaking out her best evening attire is what the old girl lives for.

Look at those fancy striped stockings and pointy witchy boots! |
Winifred is *NOT A TOY*
She is a hand-made, one of a
kind original collectible doll sculpture.
Catching the last rays of sun as dusk approaches |
Her head, arms, hands, legs
and shoes are all created with polymer clay, acrylic paints, and sealed in matte
polyurethane to preserve her good looks for a very long time.
Her long hair is synthetic
material, fastened with heavy-grade adhesive.
Her body is fashioned from a
Styrofoam base for sturdiness, covered in papier mache, and also painted and
sealed.
Winifred’s clothing is
completely hand-sewn – not a thing was created with the help of a machine! She
wears a skirt of black lace over a slip of black satin, a blouse of shimmery
spider web fabric, and a fabulous billowing shiny black satin duster (her long
cape coat).

Approximate dimensions:
12” H x 6” W; weight approx.
2 pounds
