I Love it, that is absolutely awesome, great job, you know about the glue, seeing that it's fruit, once it is dried up, any glue should work, my husband brings me this industrial super glue from work, It works GREAT, too Great sometimes, so if I am not using that I use just plain Eileens Tacky Glue, it just takes a while to dry...can't wait to see the other steps, She is looking good...")Vikki

She's very cool!
I would think white glue should work for the wool apple.

Thanks everybody!!!!

Wood glue, that does seem to make sense, doesn't it? I might have to do some test scalps to see what will work and what will make a mess. right now i'm wondering about the body frame, although I've been thinking the beech nuts in my back yard might make good lumpy witch bewbies, lol...

Years ago in western Massachusetts, there was a booth that was all apple dolls. Exquisitely made clothing etc. Every kind of character that you can think of including "apple" babies. He sold so many of them, they were the rage at the time, don't know if they still are but if this witch comes out grand something to think about if you enjoy doing it.

Witchy face withering nicely, waiting to see it finished....... you are soooo talented!
