This spectacular, it's beautiful! you remind me of the history of the maquech in Mexico .. I congratulate you !! The tradition of wearing Maquech beetle brooches originated because of an Ancient Mayan folklore. The story tells of a Mayan princess who was not allowed to marry the love of her life. The princess was devastated and could no longer eat or drink because her love for the man was so strong. The princess was willing to do anything to be with her one true love, so she sought out a medicine man to solve the problem. Urban legend has it that the medicine man transformed the princess into a Maquech beetle, so that she could be pinned near the heart of her lover for as long as she lived. This love tale popularized the romanticism behind beetle brooches. Men from some Mexican cultures give women beautifully decorated beetle brooches, as a symbol of undying love.
+candy flossy Thanks! I have plans for more (mostly doll related), but am slow getting around to making the video. If you have any particular requests, let me know. I do keep this in mind when deciding what to do next.
+candy flossy The majority of my work is with animals and I sculpt using the layered felt method. I do make stuffed human heads every once in a while, usually when I'm teaching a doll class. I learned from Akira Blount (who has since passed away) and I think the general method is pretty common. She did one thing that I always thought was overkill and wacky, but it did look gorgeous - after needle-sculpting, she glued a layer of cheesecloth over the face. I'll practice that and see if I can get a video out. Don't hold your breath though, it takes me a while! Thanks again for you comments. Regards, Alana
