Bewitched Mixed Media Assemblage

Bewitched

Measuring 5¾ by 5¾ inches, Bewitched is a captivating Halloween assemblage framed in a black standing frame. The background is a lively blend of classic patterns—deep black with playful orange polka dots and vivid orange with sharp black stripes—setting the stage for a wonderfully eerie composition. In the foreground, the head of a black crow gazes upward, lending a mysterious, watchful presence. Just beside it sits a tintype vintage baby photo, the child donning a whimsical witch's hat—an unexpected and delightful twist of enchantment. On the right-hand side, two men pose in formal attire, both wearing orange ties; one sports a classic bowler hat while the other has embraced the spirit of the season with a tall, pointed witch’s hat. Aged tape enhances one of the photographs. Tucked in the upper corner of the frame are two crossed bones, a clever touch that ties together the spooky and the surreal. Bewitched is a striking piece for a Halloween mantel or a side table display. Pair it with antique books, black crows, potion bottles, or candlelight to play up its moody vintage charm. It also works beautifully layered into a dark-toned gallery wall or nestled on a bookshelf.
