lavinia

""She has no tongue to call nor hands to wash, and so let’s leave her to silent walks.”

[ingredients: sculpey, acrylic paint, synthetic hair, lots more acrylic paint, cheesecloth, bits of wire, morbidity, sympathy]

lavinia was created for a challenge, the challenge of course being shakespeare. having just done (dead)juliet and (dead)ophelia i was still on a bit of a morbid bent. and for utterly unrelated and personal reasons, i felt i had to create this little bit of tragedy. i know she isn't to everyone's taste, but she was therapeutic to make and i'm awfully proud of the end result.
