Katie is flamboyant and exhibit with pride her colours, her feathers, antennas, etc. I used glass balls from China, silk and feathers from Indonesia and iron from Singapore, so she is truly Asian. The legs and lower abdomen are pieces of metal soldered one by one and coated in black. The body is covered with 2 pieces of silk, one of them weaved with 2 colours togethers, that gives an interesting effect. The feathers are from a boa from by my daughters for a costume party, and I decided to give some of them an alternative use.
