![]() ![]() Elphaba is the ultimate Witch, finding her power and voice and using it to be true to herself. No spoilers but I went into the musical knowing a few of the songs and left needing a warm drink and a few hours to process my emotions. I wept real tears when I saw Wicked in the theatre. Dried flowers are a Witch’s kitchen staple and, sans having children on the menu, a witches kitchen is a place filled with strange plants and herbs ready to produce and bottle potions. I personally would love to know more about botanical herbs (not to poison people lol) and have heard amazing reviews about the book Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer.ĭried flowers seem to have exploded over the past few years, not complaining! I prefer a dried flower bouquet that seemingly stays good forever than looking at fresh flowers slowly, and sometimes not so slowly, wilting and dying. The whole scene of her going to collect the plant, knowing its properties and brewing a soup is mesmerising. When the character Sally picks some of the plant to slip into her creators/enslavers soup, to comatose him for a while so she can slip out and escape. ![]() The main inspiration for this button actually comes from The Nightmare Before Christmas. Sadly we never did win the lottery! But I did get my first taste of astrology, not exactly a million pounds but…….something? lolīlack doesn’t always have to be basic and every forest/hedge witch knows Deadly Nightshade is a pantry essential. Mystic Meg appeared during the lottery and it was family tradition to watch the lottery every week to check our ticket. She gave me my first glimpse into that subculture, there was no internet after all and all the 90’s Witch films hadn’t been released yet. I loved Mystic Meg as a child and yes, having the same name helped, however it was mostly because of her style, presence and apparent attunement with the otherworld. Most people from the UK, from a certain *ahem* generation will recognise the inspiration for this button. We wanted to show our inspiration and who doesn’t love a mood board? You’ll get to know exactly where each name inspiration comes from and get a feel for the overall look. I usually only show the finished button but recently I’ve really enjoyed seeing the behind the scenes of other indie businesses like the new Selkie Patterns Video and Charlotte Emma Patterns videos. ![]() Our Halloween collection will be available to buy on the 1st October and here’s a bit of a sneak peek. It’s almost the most magical time of the year! SO, I thought it might be nice to do something a bit different when it comes to our newest, most magical, button collection. ![]()
