Oops!

I wanted a small puppet, 

and a witchy head emerged.

I was thinking black and white,

and the bat fabric and Corriedale roving

were in my stash.

A simple pattern,

a simple dress.

But the head alone is about an inch in height, 

and I'd really imagined something very small.

Her hair is Corriedale roving.

With the paper cone hat and a dress,

things were turning out much larger

than what I had in mind.

This wasn't going to be the tiny puppet

of my intention.

So...what to do?

Give up on the tiny puppet idea.
Try something else.

Experimented with fabric stiffener on the dress.

Made some clay hands.

Still not working.

Another head and no immediate

idea of what to do,

where to take it.

May be time to call it a day.

Move on to something else.

Like the papier mache box

and clay figure.

Uh oh.

Losing interest in that one, too.

The second paper mache box:

covered with book pages.

Halloween figures--

pumpkin,

ghost,

black cat.

Waiting for clay to dry.
Might work.

Skeleton in wooden cigar box.
Might work.
Will keep trying on these.

I think I can work at least one of them
into something,
given some time and thought.
