This is the piece as it looks ater it was removed from the roof top. These were put on in 1869

This is what I did with it. It looked like it could be a witch. So, without too much work I placed it in a box, dry brushed a little black paint on it to accent the pointed hat and the front of the body. I added some old typewriter keys for the buttons that have the date of the piece 1869.The box can then be filled with fall items.

I will be taking some pictures of other pieces and I will post to the site later in the week. Although, those will not have a completed project to them

For some reason I have this passion for old architectural details…don’t know why.

What a great save!
