Legend has it that witches and Voodoo priestesses where known to make poppets, dolls representing people, to use for casting spells. I thought it would be fun to make poppets that represent my husband and me. Strangely enough, they were a Valentine's Day gift. Did he understand I could use them to constrain his thoughts and movements? Probably not.
I drew a pattern and then, after printing photos on iron-on transfer paper, I positioned our faces on the fabric. I sewed the hair from yarn and the clothes from felt. Every time I look at them I laugh. I keep them under a glass dome so that our cats don't shred us to pieces. A little magic can be dangerous.
