Granny's Headology's Lessions

 I Shall  Wear Midnight

Work progresses on Granny Weatherwax, since she needs to wear black this gives little room for colours. However, there is just enough detail to stop the black from completely overwhelming the model. A really great sculpt 


Granny's Headology Lessons


Now I am about half way through Wyrd Sisters so these pointers from Granny come from the first book, Equal Rites, 

'Do you Know how wizards like to be buried?' asked the Smith

Granny  said 'Reluctantly'

'I have probably got some milk and biscuits at home'

'Its a Witch's hat because you wear it. But you're a witch because you wear the hat. Um' said Esk

'So- ' prompted Granny

'So people see you coming in the hat and the cloak and they know you're a witch and that's why your magic works' said Esk

'That's Right' said Granny 'Its Headology' 

'Didn't I say to you that if you use magic you would go through the world like a knife goes through water'

'They all look constipated. I never met a wizard who was regular' 



Not the sort of Nonsense that Granny would put up with!




Bloody Handed Annie


Also working on the next troll or is that Spriggan for my warband.  As predicted, the sprites are still having a bad day.

  1. Granny it's looking good. Were you inspired by some illustrations for the green corset, or is it your personal choice? Btw, the first volume of the witches saga is coming to our home: thanks to someone who gave us interesting suggestions on the subject ...
    We like the contrast between Annie's greenish skin and her blue dress. A little bit of gossip: is there something going on between her and Bruce, or do they just have interests in common in pulping sprites?

  2. Personal choice on the colours (except black), but I wanted a slightly somber look so it was a choice between a green or blue corset.

    Time will tell between Annie and Bruce.
