Witch's Hat and Cauldron on a Cottage Table

A pointed witch's hat rests beside a copper cauldron on a rustic cottage table. Dried herbs, apples, a candle lantern and shelves of small jars fill the warm room around them. Firelight catches the cauldron rim and gives the dark hat a clean outline.

Start with the hat and copper rim, then sort the herbs by their narrow leaves and pale stems. The table edge creates a strong horizontal guide. Build the shelves and jars in rows, leaving the soft shadows beneath the objects until the main still life is joined.
