Looking back at the Greek witch I’d made 7 years ago! Since I’m doing all these owl pieces I was thinking about my old seer. She lives on a hilltop in a beehive shaped dwelling and is generally regarding as the most deranged witch around. An unfair reputation. But keeping many dozen owls in her quarters doesn’t help her case. @talltalesproductions

Released- second out of the mold. My favourite piece of the Market Stand Collection- the Pail of Frogs. Just added an “AP” (Artists Proof) to the webshop. Very special and signed by me in silver paint as “AP2”.

Tall Tales Productions added a View Shop button to their Page.
Golly, so so glad of all the attention these owls have had! If you messaged to reserve then yes, you’re counted. Anyone else will go on the next batch reserve list. Thanks so much! Looking forward to producing these and getting them out to you all. @talltalesproductions

Been listing “Artist Proof” pieces over the weekend! They’ve sold out but look out for more of other character pieces in the future. An Artist Proof version is very special. Hand painted by me in a slightly (or entirely) different way from the main run. Rare. @talltalesproductions

It’s INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY so I just wanted to give a shout out to some of the gals at Tall Tales… Mildred Muddlesop works so hard- going around the neighborhood with her gardening tools and spraying off anything colourful and encouraging the growth of weeds, molds and fungus. Drusilla makes sure there’s vermicelli worms in your vermicelli pasta dishes. Helga, Olga, Gnishelda, Marla.. they all work tirelessly to make sure those around them have a thoroughly bad day. Shout out to them and to all working women. And those who don’t work 😁❤️ @talltalesproductions

The last “big piece” I released! Looking back over videos like this from 2020 made me realize it’s about time I offered a new larger piece like this…, so watch out! It’s going to be my first GOOD WITCH piece ever, from ‘Good Witches Bad Witches TM’ @talltalesproductions

Doing a “Pro Tip” demo segment on HBO’s Craftopia! Just got around to putting some clips on my YouTube channel (link in main bio) so here’s a clip!

Happy 2022 Everyone. I really hope the past year has been better for you than the previous. I hope you're all healthy and coping and going into 2022 with some optimism.
As I always do, I'm taking a look back at some of my highlights of the past year (2021). Helps me focus on what's important to me, career-wise!
1 - I was guest judge in the HBO show 'Craftopia' Season 2, Episode 5 which came out this year.
2 - I released my electric eels piece as part of the Market Stand Set for 'Good Witches Bad Witches TM'.
3 - I collaborated with Electronic Arts Inc in a promo they ran for new game 'It Takes Two'.
4 - I worked on a nationwide ad campaign (TV commercial and social media) for Pretty Litter released this year.
5 - I started doing bigger domestic runs and by the end of the year had expanded to the point of hiring others to work with me.
6 - I released my python piece and created my kittens piece as part of the Market Stand Set for 'Good Witches Bad Witches TM'.
7 - I created the Buck armadillo AP pieces at Halloween for 'Good Witches Bad Witches TM'.
8 - I did 3 on-camera interviews. HUGE thanks and much gratitude to Borna Kazerani @borna_kazerani_official and Roger Daniel (Magnificent World of Toys) @themagnificentworldoftoys. Third interview awaiting release.
9 - I started building a massive miniature model set of Hortense's Chateau and filming it in stages - watch out as some of these video tutorials get released - here and on my YouTube.
10 - I did my first convention since 2019! The Creative Talent Network show in Burbank, California in Nov.
11 - I worked on my 'Good Witches Bad Witches TM' Book Series! Can't wait to start sharing news on that... stay tuned through this year 2022...
Love you all, appreciate you all.
Happy New Year!
Caroline, and the witches of Tall Tales.

HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone!!!! Here’s to a wonderful and hopeful 2022 for us all. (I’m a little late with this message because I recently got back from England and whilst trapped in my stopover location of Seattle and awake for almost 40 hours at a stretch I caught either Covid or a ghastly cold… let’s find out! Test on the way…) Stay tuned because I’ve so much to share coming soon! Love to all of you Caroline xx @talltalesproductions

“Caroline- why don’t you just blow dry your hair?” …um 😂
I created Drusilla with massive Caroline hair but in black. Kinda inspired by Cher in Moonstruck. Each curl was made by wrapping clay around a toothpick. @talltalesproductions

Some rare old footage I found today! This was for an Alice in Wonderland commission… I created everything you see in camera. Fun fact - Alice in Wonderland was written in my home city of Oxford! I loved it as a child and remember peering down rabbit holes looking for one which might be big enough to lead me to adventure… @talltalesproductions

I’m hitting the screens again this week (HBO Max this Thursday) so realized I better actually have a recent photo of me up on this page, not just close up videos of my hands at work! Otherwise people aren’t sure they’ve got the right account when they look me up.. 🤪 This was me pretending to be angelic in June in DTLA. @talltalesproductions
