What Do Witches Wear?

see portfolio samples at stevensalerno.com

Well... one must assume witches also want to look their very best when attending a Halloween Ball. So, a witch will fork over the big bucks and wear something special, no doubt from her favorite Halloween designer: Diane von Frankenberg, Alexander McScream, Calvin Crime, or maybe Jean Paul Guillotine.

This little painting of a witch I did a while ago was a sample image for a children's book project that never saw the light of day. It  was done in inks, gouache and pastel. 

Quick, What Color is the Elephant? (answer below)

A: The elephant is blue. 

A while ago I had completed another project for Mudpuppy, the terrific-stuff-for-kids web site, for everything from books to puzzles, games, and more. The project I worked with them on was a First Puzzle item, and then this most recent project was Flash Cards for helping tots learn colors and shapes.

I finally received my complimentary shipment of the designed, boxed product... and as usual with Mudpuppy, it looks great. See an earlier post about this same project here.
