Selkie Emerging

Subject	Fantasy / Myth
Medium	Super Sculpey, wire, wood
Size	Figure is 13 inches tall, base is currently 4 inches but may change.
Date	Started August 24, 2007. Last Updated December 21, 2007
Description	In celtic folklore selkies were women who lived beneath the sea and took the form of seals. They could choose to emerge from their seal shape and walk on land, sometimes even marrying mortal men. This is my interpretation of a selkie rising from the sea tearing away her seal shape and revealing the woman underneath it. You can follow the progress in more detail on the Noadi's Art Blog.

The expression on her face is the best. So powerful!
