Kalunga WIP

New OC in progres maybe? She is a Kalunga, a doll that represents a queen in Afro-Brazilian tradition, sometimes depicet as a living doll. I'm not sure about name though. Can either be Mayela, or Abayommi.

Design was heavily inspired by Ziraldo's character Boneca de Piche (Pitch Doll): 4.bp.blogspot.com/_QjTw8QqEsf0… www.guiadosquadrinhos.com/edic…

The foldings and knots on her "skin" are the results fo a technque called Abayomi, used to make dolls entirely with pieces of fabric, without seams, stitches or cuts, only rolls, folds, and knots. Here are a few examples on how abayomi dolls look like:
