MAD BABS

Named for the image on back of Malle Babbe by Frans Hals, also titled The Witch of Haarlem, painted around 1635. The word “Malle” translates to “crazy”, a derogatory term hurled at crones and wise women for centuries. Here, Mad Babs shows the tools of her trade proudly - a crystal ball, a chicken foot, a hand of glory, a skull, and a tarot card. #handmade #witch #crone #wisewoman #mallebabbe
