Which Witch

WITCH, n. (1) Any ugly and repulsive old woman, in a wicked league with the devil.
(2) A beautiful and attractive young woman, in wickedness a league beyond the devil.
Ambrose Bierce

I'm sorry, I feel incredibly naughty boring you all with pictures of the same subject but it's what I'm working on at the moment so blog off if it doesn't interest you. (I mean that in the nicest possible way, of course.)
I really hurried the Photoshop version of my doll on Halloween to meet the deadline of the Orange and Black. (The gallery at Orange and Black is amazing, if a little slow to load.)
I wasn't completely happy with my Photoshop results. I haven't used it in a few weeks and it's surprising how quickly you forget every trick you've learned!
Also, Halloween is completely crazy for me. I feel big pressure every year to show the Brits how it's done. I organized a scavenger hunt and party for about 40 children. I was half crazed on Tuesday.
So there are my excuses. Here's what I've done today with the photos I took of my doll.

Simpler, but closer to what I want to achieve.

Maybe a should have done a sepia tint of that last one.
Please give me feedback. I've had a inexplicable spike in viewing numbers but not in comments. I love you lurkers, but maybe you could let me know where you're all coming from. (Spooky!)

I am a lurker. Some of the blogs - such as YOURS have such wonderful things that all I can do is dream! I don't feel worthy enough to take up space to write on your blog! I have always tinkered around with making cloth dolls, but the old "pattern" kind. Yours are amazing. I wish I could make something as amazing as your dolls! Keep up the good work and be proud that we are all nosing in to see more of your great art!
