This particular piece is titled: WINTER WITCH

This 10″ inch tall, 5.5″ wide and 3″ deep, wooden shadow cabinet, has been hand-painted and detailed with a paper mache cresent moon.

The background of the interior of the cabinet features a hand-painted snow scene.  The Winter Witch is composed of paper mache, her hair is natural fiber, and she is wearing a hand-sewn woolen cloak and skirt. Her undergarments are crepe. The Spooky tree is paper mache with vellum inserts. This piece has a blue light inserted into the back – which gives it an “icy glow”.  Everything inside this little scene, has been dusted with “snow” and tiny mica flakes add a touch of sparkle.  The blue light plays especially well, off of the snow covered ground.
