Last weekend at the St Charles Needlework Market, my friend Leigh introduced four witchy designs. Go take a look at the fives of them on her site.
I think they are very cool because they have all the lovely shading and painting that make Leigh’s pieces so wonderful, but in a very different context. The witches have very ugly faces.
But then they are combined with amazingly shaded suns, such as the one in Dorcas (third from top), detailed animals, such as the owl in Delphine (fourth), and beautiful flowers and fruit in all of them.
I think it’s that juxtaposition of ugly and beautiful that makes them so compelling.
