The Element - Water
I created an octopus lady. It's difficult to see but her skin is a hand dyed mottled cotton and her body is a store purchased batik print.
I used acrylic paints, colored pencils and micron pens for the face. Her hair is natural mohair.
Of course it isn't a photo shoot unless Mesa can help.
She is AWESOME! How did you get her to stand so nicely on her legs without them giving out??? I adore her face.
ReplyDeleteYour octopus lady is fantastic! So slinky and ready to get back into the water! Your cat is sweet too!
ReplyDeleteYour doll has such a lovely face -- and I like the way her hair flows around her as if she's underwater. Well done!
