Paper Mache on a neck made of a swimming ‘noodle’ with a mask, balloon head and paper mache nose and chin.
Finishing the eyes and gesso applied to the entire head.
Painting the face. I modeled her after The Wicked Witch of the West from The Wizard of Oz.
Body made from 2 sets of nylons sewn together at the waist and stuffed with fiber fill. The body includes bendable wire armatures inside and tennis-sock stuffed boobs.

    She is amazing! Despite her scariness, she seems to have a kindness in her eyes. Where is her super duper broom?
