Mmmm, Belladonna... My freind had this growing by her home when she was a little thing, and used to eat the berries... oddly, she is not allergic to them...

I love the Belladonna plant and grow it at the bottom of my garden, though I always feel very warey of it. I'm surprised your friend could eat the berries, my herbal books say a child could die from just a few berries. Although apparently if taken in the right combination with monkshood, it is survivable, as the toxins counteract each other - this is thought to possibly be an ancient witches flying potion, in the psychedelic sense!!

Excellent work. Nice nothing she's almost wearing. The eye that seems to project outside the line of the side of the face is a bit disconcerting, though.

Thankyou! I see what you mean about the eye... she must have been on the atropine lol - may alter it a little to look more natural
