Floaty witch and her overly-familiar black cat...

 

 

I've got a bit further than this today in a fingerpainting way and now it's not just the cat that's feeling familiar as I get the unwanted sense that I'm just repainting the hanging tree picture from a previous challenge.

Oh, well.

Jiji!

Yes.

*sneaks out to Google Jiji*

"Jiji is an African online marketplace"

Jiji 
 

Not creepy enough.

Here's a slightly more detailed African online marketplace.

 

Aw, I'm starting to want to pet it. In spite of it looking somewhat... scratch-inducing.

Halfway through scribbling the floaty witch...

 

May try to fill that gap lower down with some kind of Baba Yaga style hut. But without the big feet.
If I have time obviously.

For a moment there I thought you'd decided to scrap the cat and bring in a huge spider instead....
Phew.
