DANCIN’ THE HALLOWEEN JIGG!
Down at the corner cornfield there is dancin’ and singin’ going on. The “Master of Ceremonies” is Mr. Jiggs the Halloween King. Everyone’s attention is on that fancy footwork he is flashing around! No one kicks their heels like Mr. Jiggs! Those straw legs were kickin’ to the sky and jumpin’ around with exuberance and happiness! The “Halloween King” was bringing in the Harvest with a flair!
“Mr. Jiggs” is 21” tall and mounted on a wooden dowel. He has raffia legs that are wired. One is bendable the other is wired to the dowel. Mr. Jiggs also has wire arms and hands, the hands are wrapped with tape and the fingers can be bent so they can hold onto small items. He is wearing a combination of black osnaburg, gray meshy fabric and black gauze. He has a painted and shaded head with a black wool felt top hat sitting pretty showing off how dapper this guy really is. He has curly-qued rusty wire around his neck and on his hat, along with three rusty jingle bells. I tried to capture the essence of “Halloween” with Mr. Jiggs. I wanted to capture the fun and excitement and I think he does a good job! He sure makes me smile!

ICHABOGG CROAK OF SLEEPY HOLLOW
You think you’re having a bad day, just ask Ichabogg how his day has been goin’? He has spent most of the night out running the “Headless Horseman”! It wasn’t till he got across the “Sleepy Hollow” bridge that he felt he could give a sign of relief….it didn’t last long as he saw the pumpkin head come flying across the bridge after him…OH MY!
Ever since I made my first frog I have wanted to do an Ichabogg! Sleepy Hollow has always been one of my favorite Halloween stories. I never tire of the drama and spookiness of it. Now I have “Ichabogg” to share it with.
“Ichabogg Croak” is a 16” painted frog mounted atop a wooden dowel. He has a needle-sculpted face with stitched eyelids and painted eyes. His face has been shaded to enhance his facial features. Ichabogg is wearing a colorful coat with a taupe colored weskit that has black enamel buttons. The ruffle at his throat is from a 60 year old curtain ruffle that has been dyed. He is wearing a black wool felt tricorn, very colonial of him, that has some distressing and is stitched onto his head. Ichabogg’s hands and arms are tape wrapped wire and can be bent to hold onto something or just to show attitude.
The pumpkin is made from painted and shaded muslin. It has a rusty square nail for a stem, which is what the hand is holding onto to. The pumpkin has also be dusted with ground cinnamon to add to the primmmmmm” look and is attached to Ichabogg’s coat for balance.

“MOURNING GLORY”
A lone figure stands among the cemetery stones with the full moon offering its light for some comfort. Little “Mourning Glory” needed to come out and show her respect this “All Hallows Eve”….Many memories flood her mind making it confusing to focus on any one occasion that brought her here so many times. She carries in her hand a bunch of cala lilies. They were Aunt Tabitha’s favorite and she will like seeing them upon her resting place. Oh yes she will see them, for all eyes open up out here in the cemetery on “All Hallows Eve”….
“Mourning Glory” is new look for “Soft in the Head”. She is a painted muslin doll mounted onto a wooden dowel and measures 14”. She is shrouded in black mesh and black osnaburg. She has taped wire hands and arms that can be posed. Little Glory is wearing a dyed cheesecloth collar with a black net collar on top of it. Her face is needle-sculpted and shaded and painted to enhance it. She looks so serene and content. Her cala lilies are made from painted and dyed wool felt on wire.
