So this is my last creation - and she has no name yet. In my archives,
she is "3D Torso" - I posted pictures of her on Facebook, asking for
names. I have had quite a few so far, inspired from various traditions,
including pure redneck (Tits Mc Gee...)

THE SOURCES
The Green tattoos are shaped like young ferns leaves
in remembrance of the war paints of the Picts, the hard fighting Scottish warriors of the Roman period - Do you remember Gwenyffar in the last King Arthur's movie ?
Apparently, green and blue war paints were a staple common to numerous celtic populations. But the Picts may have used them more than other tribes - as their latin name "Picti" - from
"pingere" - to paint - actually means "painted or tattooed people."
Her bikinis seem more modern ? Actually, they really are not...
Have a look at these athletes :
These ladies date from around 400 AD. This mosaic is part of the decoration of the
Villa Romana Casale in Sicily.
And you thought Bikinis had been invented by a Frenchman in 1946 ?
