An Angel Made From A Banana Leaf



I found this image of an angel I did some time ago in my archive of photos.
I was inspired by dried banana leaves in the yard. They have this beautiful shape that looks like angel gowns and many other things to me. Her hair is made of left over twine, her wings made from left over silky twine, her hands and face made from sculpy clay, baked and painted. Upholstery tacks hold the leaf in place. She is mounted on a piece of found wood, I painted some detail around the edges for color and character. Her halo is a piece from an old camera.
