A bit more of Galatea...

Gita, who liked her Little Flat Galatea a lot, suggested to add a few more pics of her here. Well, happy to comply! In the first one here you can see that Galatea flew to the branches of my potus to enjoy the last rays of sun:

In the following photos, instead, Galatea is spying on Sophie (my beloved Enchanted doll) before going to rest on the frame of one of the pictures on the kitchen wall:

Enjoy! :)

Little Flat Butterfly-Io Galatea

Little Flat Butterfly-Io Galatea, a photo by Astera T on Flickr.

This is a little flat doll I made for a friend. She owns one of Marina Bychkova's amazing Enchanted Dolls. You should know that I am a fanatic admirer of the beautiful works of this artist. So I was thrilled when Gita (or should I say Tiggy) asked to make a 2D portrait of Butterfly-Io. It took me quite a long time...in part because I am rather slow, in part because I painted the character on two sides. (wings included).  For this piece, I used Copic Markers and pencils on Fabriano Artistico Hot Press watercolor paper.

Coming soon, a post dedicated to Marina's work, which you should go and check out on her website http://www.enchanteddoll.com/
