"Leave the Leafs" >>> Self Portrait Process

After changing my idea completely about the mannequin, I finally began with leaves. I tied two large leafs onto the front side of the mannequin with pink string. I have no idea what she is going to look like in the end. I am just kind of putting things on her as I go along. But I do still have in mind, the fact about the mannequin being transparent at the end of it. The transparency resembles myself as well. I am easy to see through to my real personality. And the mannequin will also be extremely fragile when it is completed. This also matches my personality, because I am very emotional and I get hurt by words, and even objects very easily and I break down all at once. As I make my mannequin, she becomes more and more related to my personality and to myself in general.
