Librarian Witch

Complete with the bun on the top of her head, the librarian witch keeps a hawk-eye watch over her magic and potion books. Her piercing blue eyes scour the tables and stacks for those who dare to utter even one barely audible word ready with cat like reflexes to zap the noisy offender to toad-like status! And don't even think of bringing in an overdue book! Yes, she is the scary librarian witch who comes out but one night a year...........on October 31st.




This assemblage is created inside a 4 inch diameter tin, painted orange with an overlay of black paint. Decorative papers in complementary Halloween colors grace the inside. A copy of a vintage photo, moon and witch bottle have been hand colored and applied with dimensional foam dots for a layered look. Four decorative paper backed glass marbles (moon stones) are secured in front of the witch librarian. The definition of a librarian was cut out of a children's dictionary dated 1960. Black ribbon with white polkadots is wrapped around the outside of the tin. The bottom of the tin rests inside the top of the tin on top of a burnt orange flower with a paper center. This one was fun to make as it was a custom order for my dear librarian/artist friend in Canada! I hope she likes it!

Don't mess with the books and turn the pages quietly!
