Hagatha - New Needle Felted Handmade OOAK Witch Art Doll


Hagatha- 18" Needle Felted Handmade OOAK Witch Art Doll

Hagatha  isn't afraid of anything witchy except flying.  She just doesn't like it.  Too many unpredictable situations can arise - like wind, rain, snow, sleet, tornadoes, hurricanes and more.  She much prefers to stay at home in the cave and make witchy potions.  That she's excellent at and that she will willingly do.  Ask her to fly and you'll get her "Who me!" reaction.


Hagatha's inner body is fully bendable and is sculpted out of Sunflower's alpaca roving from Rock Garden Alpacas Fiber and parts of her outer body, legs, arms, face, and hawk sculpted nose are felted from a beige mix from Rock Garden Alpacas Fiber combined with lime green roving.  Her cheeks are blushed with a green chalk.  Her black boots were made using black alpaca roving from Rock Garden Alpacas Fiber. Her curly black and gray colored hair is felted with Masquerade's raw washed roving from Rock Garden Alpacas.  Her black, brown and white eyes are needle felted with Ivy's brown alpaca roving, black alpaca roving and white prime roving from Rock Garden Alpacas Fiber. Her mouth, eyebrows and under eye wrinkle lines are needle felted with black alpaca roving. Green chalk is blushed all over her face.


Her needle felted purple cuffed pants are made from gray carded roving and her shirt is needle felted purple roving. Her dress, cape and witches hat are all hand sewn using blanket stitching. Her black felt witches dress is gathered at the neck, waist, and elbows and has triangle fringed hems for the bottom of the dress and sleeves. Black ribbons are tied in bows at the gathering of her elbows and pant cuffs. Her dark green and black wool cape is gathered around her neck and tied under her chin with a silver bow. A black felt witches hat sits atop her head. Hagatha is sitting with her legs crossed on a white gourd with black stripes and has a black raven on her left shoulder, a green frog on her right hand, and a green frog on her left knee.

Need a witches brew? Just ask Hagatha. Need a few spells cast? Just ask Hagatha. Need a witch to fly around? Don't ask Hagatha. She's no where to be found.
