This is Athena the Goddess of War and Wisdom, 7 yards of draped fabric, a vinyl wrapped piping snake detail on the aegis with green crystal eyes, all hand stitched. The pendant around her neck is a image of an ancient gorgon carved with an Xacto-Knife from clay then baked and hand painted. The helmet made of Wire Form to shape to the head, paper mache to smooth the surface, cardboard for the detail on the top, the mask was store bought, cut and manipulated then attached with 2 acorn nuts and mini bolts, and finished with 3 coats of Liquitex, bronze acrylic paint.
Hope you enjoy my creation!
