Sorry about not posting last month, but I've been busy! I just got back from Santa Fe, where I have been working in the millinery (hats) department for the S.F Opera. (Photos of the hats are at the end of the post.)
Also, I have been gearing up for the Halloween season at Roger's Garden:
I'm still putting together some glamourous ghosts. I have all the components and am working on putting them together.
And, I finished a funny little witch. Don't know what her name will be, but she looks like a "Gladys" to me. (Don't know why.) But, I want to try to come up with a more "witchy" name for her.
Here are some of the lovely bonnets I worked on for the opera, "La Boheme", which is playing now in Santa Fe. (These are just a few of the 98 hats needed for this opera!)
This opera was designed by Camellia Koo.

Those ghost witches are so wonderful.

I am thinking Medea...She was an enchantress who helped Jason, but I like the name.
Great post Arley. I hope someday you might consider creating a pattern for your ghosts. They are just so amazing..
Your little witch is so cute. You should name her Madam Patty. She looks like a little old lady down on her luck. Carol Johnson
All good ideas, ladies! Thanks for the comments.
Love your kindly witch. I would love to have a pattern showing how to create such a lovely older wrinkly kind face.
I love your work! I make art dolls myself and have tried different techniques based on what I've read from other doll artists' tutorials including you.
Anyway, I think if you want a 'G' name for your lovely witch, Gretchen (meaning "pearl"), Gertude (meaning "spear of strength), Gilda (meaning "sacrifice, value"), Geneva (variant of Genevieve meaning "wife, woman), Glykeria (Greek for "sweet woman"), Gracie (like "Say goodnight, Gracie!"), or Geraldine (female variant of Gerald meaning "rule of the spear").
You could even call her Garnet like the gemstone for the red dress she wears.
Just thoughts.
All good names, HAF! Thanks for the ideas.
