"Wicked Witch Cat" ©TaraFly, 2014. An acrylic painting on a canvas panel measuring 5"x7".
Continuing the Wonderful Wizard of Oz Collection.... (Last year, I painted Dorothy, Tin Cat, Lion, and Scarecrow Cat).
I used the original book reference for her one-eyed appearance, and originally painted the silver slippers on Dorothy.... but.... changed my mind because I knew hard-core Oz movie fans would want this piece (featuring ruby slippers!). :)

Okay, I screwed up. I thought yesterday was the sock picture. Oh well, I like it so much I'll post it, (but not to FGR; I'm not crazy. The asshats scare me ;-) ) even if it won't "count" for FGR
I had a pair of glittery red shoes when I was a little girl, and when I saw a how to in a craft book the other day I literally couldn't NOT make them!

I made this cake for a friends birthday, her fancy dress party had a the theme of musicals and I knew that Sam and her family were all going as characters from the Wizard of Oz.. With Sam going as Dorothy. This was the first 12 inch Madeira cake I have ever baked, I think ensuring it was evenly baked was the most stressful part. The cake was vanilla madeira sponge with raspberry jam and vanilla buttercream filling. The cake was then covered in sugarpaste and I used a mixture of modelling paste and flowerpaste for the figures. The birthday girl was really pleased with the result

Dorothy's "ruby slippers" were actually silver in the L.Frank Baum book, The Wizard of Oz. But when the movie was being shot, they decided to make them red to show off better against the "yellow brick road." Preview of National Museum of American History reopening on 21 Nov 08.
