My
Hansel and Gretel Designs are finally complete! My idea was for the kids to
be dressed as normal modern kids, then when they arrive at the witch’s
cottage, she dresses them in candy covered outfits. Gretel’s dress is
covered in sugary lemon drops with a macaroon trimmed skirt, a sucker
hair clip, and skittle covered shoes. Hansel is wearing a peppermint
broach, liquorish shoelaces, and a taffy wrapper bow-tie. The Witch is wearing a Dots trimmed skirt, peppermint shoes/necklace, a sprinkle covered apron, with hair made of cotton candy.

I’m starting a visual development project based around the story of Hansel & Gretel.
First up is my Candy Witch. I’ll be making more characters, environments and props :) Candy Witch prints and apparel are available at http://society6.com/dylanbonner Designs are © Dylan Bonner |
I love this!
ReplyDeleteSo the kids are black and the witch is a nasty white woman. Racist.
ReplyDeleteLOVE THIS!!!Its great to get a multicultural perspective on these stories. I am African American and I don't think this is racist at all.
ReplyDeleteTeach them young...sweet (victimized) black children, mean white witch who strips them of their identity (clothes) and then subjects them to very bad things. Way to instill in vulnerable young minds the racist stereotypes. How progressive, Dylan Bonner. Why didn't you make all characters the same race? Would white children being terrorized by a black witch be ok?
