FALL WITCH

This is a doll of a with in fall colors.  This was requested by my co-worker.  When she asked me to make her a witch, I showed her several ideas for a witch.  She told me that she wanted a pretty witch, not one that was scary.  She brought a picture of the witch that this doll is based on.
