Gothic Witch Metal Sign Halloween Decor

Seated with the skull.

A witch sits on a piece of grey driftwood, knees together, her skirt spilling across the lower half of the disc in heavy folds. The gown is off the shoulder with a laced bodice, and her hair blows out behind her in long sand-colored ropes that reach the rim on both sides. Her hat is charcoal and pointed.

The background is cream and pitted like old plaster. Two bats fly at the upper left. Beside her hip, half sunk into the wood, lies a skull with dried stems growing through the eye socket. The carved depth in the fabric folds and the bone is printed onto a flat panel, which is why a disc this size hangs so light.

Cream and charcoal reads as gothic without going fully black, so it holds a wall in a bright room. Hang it by a bedroom door, over an altar, or in a covered entry through October. A fair gift for someone who works with ancestor imagery at Samhain and would rather have a skull than a cartoon ghost.
