Take a Word Challenge #29 - ORIENTAL

This oriental lady is the sum of her parts - face from a shop mannequin which explains the rather square jaw and wooden gaze; wig painted in by me; robe and garden temple from Alana McCarthy at Scrapbookgraphics; background by Ztampf also at SBG and the Googled Japanese lettering which (I hope) says HAPPINESS, hoping that the lady might cheer up for her big unveiling on the blog.

    Marie, I love the robe-colours from your Japanese Muse and the bird (We call it in Holland 'kraanvogel') is such a clever find!
