Lady #3

This is the last piece I finished for a project I’ve been working on- a group photo which I will post tomorrow.

She has a funny, kind of smirky smile.

I considered redoing it but then decided I liked it and it gave her some feisty personality.

She has a dog covering her entire chest.

She has another animal on her arm but I’ve never been able to figure out exactly what animal it is- a badger maybe?

tattooed lady 1

This is the first time I’ve made a dark-skin tattooed lady. Getting things dyed to colors that work for skin tones is a real challenge.

I embroidered her hair design.

This outdoor photo shows the color in her pants the best. Pretty fancy!

My big show is over but I never finished posting all the dolls!

The show was fantastic- I finished up last night feeling excited and energized and it’s been a long while since that has been the case. Hurray! Also, the tattooed people did not sell so I have lots available if you are interested in getting one. I will be posting them on to etsy as soon as I can but I have such a backlog of work in all the rest of my life (hello laundry!) that it might be a few days. I thought I’d try something different. I am going to post groups to Instagram and people can message me through the various sites (instagram, facebook, twitter) or email me – mimik@pobox.com. It’ll be an experiment.
