Baba Yaga Pillows
Description: Baba Yaga, or Baba Roga, even Ježibaba in some Slavic countries, was an evil witch that looked like an ugly and frail old woman who lived in a forest cottage that stands on chicken feet. She is wicked and vicious and preys on ones who get lost in the woods. Serving a similar purpose like the boogeyman, Slavic parents have freaked out their children for generations: "If you misbehave, Babaroga will kill and eat you at night"... or something like that. She was a true nightmare fuel! I really enjoyed designing her evil-looking chicken feet cottage, because she was a big part of my own childood growing up.
Description: A mandala featuring the Slavic witch Baba Yaga, her hut on chicken legs surrounded by a fence of human skulls and bones, mushrooms, and her pets (cat, raven, owl). Autumn leaves swirl around her as she flies on her mortar and pestle. Two sayings associated with her and her hut are also written in Russian ("Foo, foo! I smell a a Russian smell!" and the poem to make the hut turn around so that you can enter it).
