One of the oldest tattoos found in the world are those on the siberian "iceprincess". She was thought to be a kind of shaman/ wise woman and warrior.
So that's what is on my left shoulder as well as it was on hers .
That is my take on it in fabric with using the colors they were most fond of in that culture at that time.
Here is the original tattoo found on the mummy of the iceprincess.
Wow, that is impressive
ReplyDeleteSo interesting and fabulous artwork!
ReplyDeleteSo much detail. I would be interested in hearing about your technique - is it applique? Or maybe reverse applique?
ReplyDeleteIncredibly interesting that it is so visible on the mummy and how you reproduced it in fabric. I hope it looks as good on you too
