Bethany Lowe Signed Halloween Witch Figure OOAK Folk Art Paper Mache 14"

This whimsical signed Bethany Lowe Halloween witch is full of the vintage folk-art charm that has made Bethany Lowe creations so collectible. She features a hand-painted papier-mâché face with a wonderful expressive grin, curly wire hair and limbs, a black crepe paper dress, and a hidden black cat tucked beneath her skirt. She stands on a beautifully hand-painted wooden base decorated with vintage-inspired Halloween artwork, making her an eye-catching display piece.  This figure is hand-signed by Bethany Lowe on the underside and retains its original internal RT inventory label (RT6463). Through conversations with a former Bethany Lowe designer, I learned that RT inventory labels were used internally during the company's design and product development process before items were marketed. Some designs were eventually released while others were not. While I cannot confirm the production history of this specific figure, the original RT label provides an interesting connection to Bethany Lowe's creative design process.
