Artistic Imaginings
After a few weeks of not really being able to draw much at all, I went back to basics and drew myself a new witch.
Nothing too adventurous with the pose, and as usual I'm not totally convinced by the colour scheme, but...
What do people think?
Just some quick behind-the-scene design researches for my next leather pins (I have lots of ideas) and I'm so happy of my bookworm witch and my mammoth (my take on the mastodon mascot) ! What would you name them ?
Hoping to have them (in leather pins and stickers) for my next shop update in July !
I proudly present my most ambitious drawing to date: THE COVEN.
#Onthisday in 1765, the last “witch” was burnt in #Somerset.
Mary Norwood, living in Axbridge, was accused of killing her husband with witchy poison.
On 8th May in Ilchester, she prayed and sang a hymn – amazing she could find any voice at such a time. Then, she was garrotted and her dead body was burnt to ashes.
People believed that by burning her body she wouldn’t come back as a ghost!

Hellööö! Tried a new pencil today. This drawing here I call "Coffee Witches".
I hope you're all enjoying your Wednesday ...and your coffee ...or tea.
Grass between my toes, fire in my bones.
Blessed #beltane to all. To me, this day is about the fertility of all love and the beauty of lust in all its consensual forms, in all who gaze up at the stars.
“She is the witch you burned by daylight and crept from your home to consult & bribe at night. The love that tortured you you blamed on her.”
― Margaret Atwood, Two-Headed Poems
“Now I only need to look
out at them through my sky-blue eyes.
They see their own ill will
staring them in the forehead
and turn tail.
Before, I was not a witch.
But now I am one.”
― M. Atwood
“The witch is absolutely necessary.”
― M. Atwood, Two Solicitudes
