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.
