My third year of making special geisha for Halloween. 2008's theme is The Mummy. I created kimono to look like mummy wrappings, gave them hair inspired by Nefertiti and each one holds a handmade sterling ankh.
I started out making 3 prototypes until I found the design I wanted and went on to make 5 for this year. Since they are part of my limited edition holiday series, this specific design will never be repeated. Only these 5 will ever exist and each comes with her own signed collector card.

Miira is the Japanese word for mummy. This geisha is #1 of 5 and also the largest in group.

Number 2 of 5. Her kimono is a bit darker than the first one. I was looking at photos of real mummies online and noticed their wrappings were very dark.

#3 of 5, the tiniest of the group. Have you noticed anything different among the geisha yet?
3 of the 5 have earrings, including this one. ;)

I've been drawing since I could hold a crayon, thanks to my mother who is also an artist. It wasn't until I began working with hot glass May 2005 that something really sparked inside of me. As a self-taught glass artist, I hope my beads are just the beginning of a long and adventurous career into this astounding medium.
