“People once believed that when someone dies, a crow carries their soul to the land of the dead. But sometimes, something so bad happens that a terrible sadness is carried with it and the soul can't rest. Then sometimes, just sometimes, the crow can bring that soul back to put the wrong things right.”― James O'Barr, The Crow

Madame de Pompadour is probably my most photogenic creation. This lovely creature doesn't seem to have a bad angle or a pose. The camera loves her! It was a joy to photograph her. Here is what her back looks like.
The weird thing is that I didn't find the wasp nest until just a couple of weeks ago, while the queen-bee tattoo was conceived and engraved months ago. It was a very fortunate chance find, that suits the theme of the doll perfectly. Opportunities present themselves when we are open to them!
A film about the making of this doll is coming up next. The auction starts on November 30th.
