Squished Witch bookmark

I've seen some pictures around recently of bookmarks that look like the Wicked Witch of the Easts' legs, all squished up between the book (unfortunately I can't remember where on the web), and though it would be a sweet christmas/birthday present for my lovely Irish friend Anna, who is an English graduate. So I set about making and painting some clay witches legs!


I used Jovi clay, and I think next time I work with it I'll try to have a  wee bit more patience with smoothing it down and sealing it before I paint. I think the roughness adds a bit of rustic charm to it (cough*notanexcuse*cough). I think it turned out pretty cute, though, and the bookmark portion I painted to look a bit textured and 'old', I guess, also with a small 'Anna' written up the top. I forgot to take a photo, and at the moment I am using the bf's camera, which actually requires some knowledge of light ect, which I do not possess, so I'm finding it tricky to focus the images. Anyway, in a couple of weeks I'll have my point-and-shoot back with me. Yay!
