To create the flames I used red, orange, yellow, and glow in the dark clay, thinned and twisted to resemble flickering flames. The rocks were sculpted from swirled multi-colored clay. I sprinkled the base with green and copper embossing powder before I baked it.
Next I used a bottle and shaped wire to create an armature for the witch. I wrapped the top of the bottle (her torso) and the head and arm wires with floral tape to help the clay adhere to the bottle and the wire.
Then I added a layer of clay over the whole armature and began sculpting her face and hands. I mixed equal amounts of flesh colored and glow in the dark clay to create a flesh tone that glows brightly in the dark.
As you can see, she still glows just as brightly as she would if I had only used glow in the dark clay. This is the first time I tried mixing it with another color. In the future I'll have to try mixing GITD clay with other light colors and see what happens.
Here I've added some ragged looking robes to the witch and secured her to the base with liquid polymer clay. Her make up is chalk, which I rubbed on paper then applied to the face with a small brush. I also filled the star cut outs on the cauldron with a mix of glaze and glow in the dark powder.
Of course a witch has to have her Familiar. This is the beginning of the armature for her black cat. The wires have been secured in the foil core with glue.
I wrapped the armature with floral tape to further secure the wires in the clay and provide a good surface for the clay. I made sure the cat would fit properly next to the witch. I posed him so that he would appear to be up on his hind legs, looking into the cauldron.
And this is how they looked right before going into the oven for the final bake. The cat has his front paws on the rim of the cauldron and I added liquid polymer clay to the bottom of his feet and tail to secure him to the base and the cauldron. I textured his fur and used glow in the dark clay for his eyes.
I used a fuzzy type of yarn for the witch's hair, and added felt to the bottom of the base. Now this spooky sculpture is complete and listed in CreativeCritters! I included a vanilla scented votive candle as well.
And this is what it looks like in the dark. Pretty cool, huh?
It almost looks like the flames are actually flickering, and I love how brightly that glow in the dark powder makes the stars glow! This took a few weeks to complete, and is certainly a one of a kind creation. I tried some new things with this sculpture, and was pleasantly surprised with the results. Thanks for joining me on another creative journey! =)

First there's Katy, wearing her cat costume 
Then there's Penelope, who's dressed as a fairy
And my newest addition, Wendy the Witch and her cat Spook.
This is my Lady Vampire sculpture
And this is titled Embrace of the Vampire. I must admit to being quite proud of this one. It took a long time to complete and turned out very nice.
I just listed my Spiderweb magnet with Dangling Spider
These Glow in the Dark Skull earrings are a lot of fun.
These Glow in the Dark Ghost earrings would be a spooky addition to your Halloween costume! 
This is Wendy. She's all ready for Halloween, dressed in her Black and dark blue witch costume. Wendy is a 17" tall hand sewn cloth doll. She's made from muslin and stuffed with polyester fiberfill. She's wearing a black dress (also sewn by hand), with a sheer blue overskirt. The star on the front of the bodice was painted with glow in the dark dimensional fabric paint, making for a really fun effect in the dark. The dress fastens in the back with velcro. Her legs and boots are all one piece. I used striped fabric for the legs to resemble striped tights. Her boots were sewn from black fabric and I then painted the uppers with Halo Blue Gold Metallic Acrylic paint. This creates an incredible shimmer (and adds a little magic to those boots)! Wendy's bright blue eyes were painted by hand with fabric paint. Her arms have plastic safety joints and her hair is soft Homespun yarn. Her cape was sewn using black fabric, on which I painted more glow in the dark stars, with the sheer blue fabric on the outside. Her hat, made from stuff black felt, also has glow in the dark stars painted on it. Her little black cat is named Spook and was sewn from soft black fleece and stuffed with polyester fiberfill and plastic poly pellets. His eyes were painted with glow in the dark paint and his nose is pink felt. Spook has some very good "Cat Magic" and is quite comforting to hold. Wendy and Spook are one of a kind original creations, handcrafted with love. This pair would make a great gift for any child, doll collector, or anyone who enjoys Halloween.
