Making something new - a little pretty that I was inspired to make by seeing Snow White And The Huntsman. If you haven't seen the movie, there's a scene in the forest where the dwarves bring her to a secret place where fairies live ...
and they're green, androngynous, and big eared. lol I liked everything about them but their big ears; especially the idea that they were humanoid but genderless, (and not the sort of oddly sexualized version of fairies that are often portrayed in movies [I'm looking at you, Disney!])
Anyway - I went with my new favourite - lutradur to make the body - first a rough sketch, and then layered it with several gradations of olive green that I mixed up; and then a coating of new-grass-green for highlights.
Then I used a leftover scrap of the brown fabric that I made from roving for
"Written On The Body" (careful, that link has frontal nudity! ;) )
... and thread painted some foliage on it. (My thread painting's getting better, no?)
And here it is from the back ('cause I know some of you like to see the back.)
On Wednesday, we're making wings! See you then...
