She’s finished.
My last painting of 2010.
I fucked her up though and can’t sell her, I’ll explain.

She’s got a bump on her head, on the upper right-hand side.
This is because I didn’t use enough gel medium when I glued her down, so when I went to varnish her, her head lifted in a few places, which was the cause of problem #2:

In an attempt to get her head to lay flat, I poked it down with the end of my paintbrush, which lifted some of the paint on her face, which you can see on the right side, under her eye. Oops. :o/

Marabou is a real bitch to sew and I don’t think I’ll be using it again.
The bodice of her dress is white sparkly paper, but the bottom is sparkled tulle pasted over top of watercolour paper, then the marabou at the bottom, which in hindsight should have probably only been one row instead of two.
Oh and her bindi is a Swarovski crystal.

She has feet!

She also has a bunch of different types and colours of glitter.
For fine glitter I used light blue, silver and white and for chunky glitter I used silver and just a touch of blue.

Anyway, if she’d have turned out the way I intended her to, I think she’d be my favourite so far.
