Madame de Pompadour is probably my most photogenic creation. This lovely creature doesn't seem to have a bad angle or a pose. The camera loves her! It was a joy to photograph her. Here is what her back looks like.
The weird thing is that I didn't find the wasp nest until just a couple of weeks ago, while the queen-bee tattoo was conceived and engraved months ago. It was a very fortunate chance find, that suits the theme of the doll perfectly. Opportunities present themselves when we are open to them!
A film about the making of this doll is coming up next. The auction starts on November 30th.
