Ms. Tonto-rina Bravefeather

She is Strong, Bold, Vibrant, and Proud.  Basically, a Warrior of life.

Ms. Bravefeather’s straw-filled fabric body was made out of cotton, which has most likely darkened from its original color over time.  I left her little boots and hands in their original vintage state.

I used a thick washed woven linen for her head as well on the legs. Recycled leftover scraps from a previous decorating job.

Seagull feathers I gathered from the Venice shoreline where I currently live.

Gray-toned felting fiber was used for hair and braids.

Silver-toned vintage findings were used for the earrings and her stash belt.
