More WOW

Another of the fine creation from the World of Wearable Art.

This is Ornitho-Maia, the bird mother.  She is the ethereal protector of the beautiful feathered creatures of our world.  I can totally relate to her mission as I am a little bird obsessed myself.

She was created by Nadine Jaggi from leather that has been wet moulded, embossed, carved, hand dyed, copper foiled & hand sewn; adorned with bronze buckles and steel rings.

One does need some abs to wear this - abs that are not covered in fat.  That rules me out.
