The only "real" part of this lady is her face. The body is made from digital elements including pendant lights (skirt and hat) and a fabric square that looks like a door mat (torso, arms and legs). The face reminded me of someone I thought I knew and then I hit on it - Harpo Marx, right down to the frizzy blonde hair. All the "manufactured" bits and pieces come from After Five Designs. I had a lot of fun with this one. Thanks for the challenge.
