Almost...




Almost finished. In the book "The Wee Free Men", Miss Tick is wearing a straw hat with paper flowers that mechanically transforms into a witch's pointed hat. So I started from a witch's hat and twisted and sewed it down, before adding paper flowers (grubby from continually falling to the ground and being rained upon.)

I made these boots from felt. Here they are drying in the sun. I will finish her props later this evening. Now my only quandrary is her stand.

Thanks, although the elements of her device are pretty clearly described on the very first page of the book, so not much credit to me there!

The large one is roughly 18 inches high, and has a diameter of 22 inches.
