OH wanted the Caribou to have the northern lights as a backdrop but I wanted to keep it plain white. So I used some of the colours seen in the aurora borealis on the body instead. It was tricky to ink-up selective areas with the different colours and then to merge them in, but I am quite happy with some of them.
I then used the inks up on this.
Reminds me of tie-dyed tassel skirts and the whiff of patchcouli oil!
Gorgeous. And now I have the Pixies playing in my head too... double bonus!
