THE WITCHES BREW

(My roombox - Coven Cabin)

Website Id: (Dioramas) Europe - Wales - 0028)

I made this roombox in 1998. I have made the witch with Fimo modelling clay and I called her Maggie Moon.
For the cabin at the back I used weathered bamboo canes split down the middle lengthways. They were out of the garden, and the pumpkins are all made with Fimo. My late husband put a light in each of the pumpkins. There is also a green light inside the cauldron and a red one underneath. One of the cats is from a charity shop but I made another one (at the back) with Fimo. On the left is a large "acorn" with a hinged lid. When it is opened a black bug wriggles inside..ugh!! One of my grandsons (who was young at the time) made the rat which Maggie is holding, and he also made the one which is looking on, and he is SO cute! The little rat is holding his hands and arms over his eyes, so that he doesn't have to witness the fate of the other one, held by Maggie! (Unfortunately I am not able to photograph it as it is so small).
The lights on the "sky" are behind perspex and represent stars. The "tree" is off a real one in the garden.
Artificial plants, a rabbit, a box with potions and a spell book etcetera complete the scene.
