Ivy Widdershins is often called a crone. It may be meant as an insult, but Ivy wears the name as a badge of honour. As with her mane of silver hair, she's earned it. When an infant is sick or crops are withering, the villagers will come to Ivy and she always has just the right thing to help.
Sometimes when I make an art doll, all the elements seem to come together and something magical happens. When I found this gorgeous white lotus fibre, I knew I wanted to make a crone. As she began to take shape, she whispered to me that she needed a velvet hooded cloak and a besom made from local birch and broom.
