Making of Laura

Laura is born!!! I am recreating the poem "Goblin Market" by Christina Rossetti. This poem was meant to be children's literature back when it was written, but I am not sure I would let a child read it. This poem is all about femininity, addiction, sex, sin, violence, and the love between sisters. It is a big challenge trying to create 3-D illustrations for a poem and turn it into a 32 page picture book, but I gladly accepted.
Bald and beautiful, first few layers of paint.

Practically twins!! Me getting into character. 

Needs hands and feet, but I am pretty proud of how my first puppet came out! Let's hope I have similar success with making Lizzie!! Stay tuned...
