Don't lose your head

Inspired by Mexican sugar skulls I have created this mixed media skull painting, 'The Princess of Bones'. She springs new life from death, renewal from decay. From dust she was made and to dust she will return.

How 'The Princess of Bones' was made:

Great detail! You really put some meat on the bone this time, so to speak :)

Nice work as usual. Love to see your work

Thank you, I'm so happy that you like it!

Beautiful@ opheliafu! Our @everlove loves collage to mix media as well. It's incredible to see what emerges from combining different elements!
The hand-painted dragon fly is a marvelous touch!

Thank you, I'll be sure to check out @everlove.

You certainly have some sprawling ideas. I like the slight surrealist inspiration. And the music out of the mouth and the text that enters into the eye :-)

It comes naturally, the sprawling ideas, not sure if that's always a good thing!

steemon!

Oh yes!

Now that piece of work is deliciously beautiful

Wow! What a description. :)

Great job! Think I may have lost my head but it came back! :)

Thank goodness for that, I can't imagine the cost of a law suit if you literally lost your head from looking at this post! Is it glued on tight? As you may lose it on my next post.

This made my day. Thank you. Wonderful.

Nice art, very nice lips , as if he were singing

But what song?

Nice, loving it! Especially the teeth.

Thanks @shortcut !

cool, looks like muertas de juarez mask

Her unicorn nose is intriguing. The teeth are also a nice touch.

The unicorn was a logo on some sheet music, I thought it would make a good nose!

I love the collage/paint combo here!

Thanks @storyseeker you use collage to great effect in your work.

Oh my gosh! I want that in my house! I love skulls and Mexican influenced art. sigh Oh, the lovely bones.

I will bear that in mind @merej99 !

Hello @opheliafu,

That is a very unique creation!

How long did you work on her?

A few hours as I had to wait for layers to dry.
