The skull is a sculpted paperclay skull with a black sculpted cat mask. Her body is sculpted from paperclay over a metal frame, painted with acrylics and then sealed with Mr Clear. She is dressed in lace underwear with silk ribbons finished with metal buckles. Her (removable) saddle panniers are made of black haute couture fabric finished with synthetic hair and metal corset hook and eye. The inside of her panniers, her secret garden, is covered with black and golden fabric roses and two paper butterflies. She is posed on a ornate black double wooden base with tiny paperclay sculpted birds.
