Dark Bride

skull doll

2010

70 cm / 27.6 inch
Her skull is sculpted from apoxie with a paperclay layer and painted with acrylics.
Her body is also made from apoxie and sculpted in two parts so she is seperatable at her waist (rod/tube) for safer shipment.
She's got glass eyes and mohair/sheep wool/viscose hair.
I used 100% dupioni silk and 100% crepe georgette silk for her dress and vale, and lace and Swarovski crystals on her underskirt.
The roses are Mulberry paper flowers.
