Witch Shoes, hooked in wool, made up as a throw pillow featuring a witch. Hooked wool gives it real texture and weight rather than the flat face of a print.
Made for the chair nobody sits in and everybody looks at. Repeat one of its colors somewhere else in the room and the whole arrangement locks together.
Two legs in purple and green striped socks drop down against a marigold ground, ending in black boots that curl up at the tips. The orange runs right to the edges with nothing framing it. The joke lands because the rest of the face is left empty.

Wool pulled loop by loop through a backing, the way hooked rugs have been made for two centuries, is what gives this piece its depth and its weight in the hand. Halloween designs are produced in limited runs each year, and wool is one of the few materials that outlasts the season it was bought for. A thoughtful gift for Halloween hosts with a sense of humor, and a good reason to keep one yourself.
