She has the composed expression of someone guarding a secret recipe—and the quiet confidence of someone who has no intention of sharing it.
When you shake her, the murky gray potion transforms into a sparkling lavender brew, filling the embossed glass bottle with shifting violet light.
Her hand-sculpted and hand-painted face is framed by abundant purple hair beneath a tiny black top hat. Black lace, a botanical-patterned bodice, and a dark jeweled ornament give her an elegant, slightly dangerous finish. The bottle itself is embossed with instructions “For Making Root Beer at Home,” which is considerably more wholesome than her expression suggests.
A one-of-a-kind original sculpture from The Thorn Garden.
