Moths
For common old human witches, cats seem to be a familiar companion. Not so for Titchy Witches, their creature of choice has to be the Moth, the bigger and furrier, the better.
Butterflies can be a little horty but Moths? Moths are much more fun, they deliberately leave dusty footprints on clean mirrors, they grin and chuckle quietly to themselves in the gloom and they lick stuff!...... just to see what it tastes like. Who couldn't love a moth?
My miniature, mousey mage enjoys the soft company of his moths mates, treating them to a flutter around his lantern.
This piece, like the moths, plays with light. Leave it in the sunlight and then see what you find in the dark.
The lantern works but requires a delicate touch so as not to fluster the moths. A special and unique treat for Halloween.
