It's Day 14 and I was not the only one excited for today's post. I altered a baby doll head into a wine stopper over a year ago. The body of the doll has been very upset at me because it wanted a head. I was at Walmart the other day and guess what...found a skull that said it was looking for a body. I just happen to have one of those.
Brought the skull home and could not wait to sit down and create, bwwaaaahhhaaaa. Now this little love has a special place in my heart and so should have a name worthy of its unique beauty.
I only have boys, so this dear had to be a girl. Her name means: The name of an evil spirit in Greek mythology
who abducts and murders children. Also means "vampire" in Latin
and "fiend" in Arabic. What a perfect fit. Hard to see but she does have a bit of blood on feet and hands. Small enough to entice and feed on children this spooky Halloween.
I apologize for all the pics and you should be happy I narrowed it down to three! Someone wanted me to get only the best poses...
I give you LAMIA:
