BREATH BODY
Description:
Many broken mirror shards overlap, while empty bags of breath hang from a body-like structure. Gold and multi-colored cabochons decorate the tops of the bags and are enveloped by a cloak-like structure of dirt-encrusted fabric and ribbon.

I start attaching broken mirror bits to an armature. I realize that it is going to take much longer than anticipated. I need to add a lot more shards to the layers on the neck before I can move up to the head.

I spent around 7 hours working today to glue more mirror shards and was happy to get past the halfway point. The circumference will continue to get smaller from here, which means it'll take less time.
