"Sticks and Bones Break Your Bones" >>> Self Portrait Process

I continued with my nature-girly mannequin. After gluing and tying things on without planing where they would originally end up, she looks amazing to me. I am trying to make the leaves and the girly decorations resemble a dress. There is kind of a pattern going on in the dress and on the mannequins body. The two sides on the bottom are similar but different at the same time.I have covered half of her body with just nature objects. Next, I will decorate the top of it with girly things. But I also came to a few issues along the way again. First off, I started getting horrible allergies while putting her together. There was pollen, sticks, and flowers all over my living room. And my leaves were all different sizes and shapes, but it adds to the woman, and the personality traits that are held within her. I also do not like this metal stand at all anymore. I made the frame of the mannequin slightly too small, and it is very difficult to remove her from the frame. So, I decided to make her a new stand, that she will be supported with all the time.
