and grateful to @ingridvictoria_mua for giving me the opportunity to construct and showcase my concept for TOMATO WITCH 🍅🦷✨

🍅👑TOMATO WITCH👑🍅

She stalks her tomato patch, plucking the wings off of birds daring enough to try and peck at her precious seedlings. She adorns herself in them, warding off predators and keeeping her warm in the winter months.

COSTUME PIECES MADE BY YOURS TRULY:

Tomato familiar hat - paper mache, paper mache clay, and acrylic paint
Feather chest piece - feathers, cardboard, e600, needle felted tomato
Witch finger gloves - opera gloves, foam clay, aluminum foil, acrylic paint
Feather skirt - 8 thousand feathers (hand glued), fairy lights, hoop skirt, bed sheet, e600

Crochet tomato vine necklace - yarn by @whatsinthewool
