Oracle Oak, Quercus xmorehus. A hybrid between Black Oak, Quercus kelloggii, and Interior Live Oak, Quercus wislizeni. Obviously only begrudgingly deciduous.

Well, I think the Analei wig looks better on my sleepy Rebecca! She's a cutie, this one! I bought the heeled feet for Sera who immediately took them and also the DC jointed hands (pics to come) but in doing so, I had to steal the ankle balls from this little girl, so I stole someone else's feet until I can figure that out (the April Story feet are super cute). Hanazahra is the one who sacrificed her feets so she got Sera's old hands-much more mature than her Angell Studio ones. So lots of swapping going on.

 

I meant to dye this child, but maybe she'll remain white skinned- and I believe she's blind. I need some eyes for her. Anyway, all caused by exposure to the mists she uses for her oracle-esque powers. She'll be useful for exposition, I think. She is very old, but has no way to mark the passing of time, so doesn't realize her family is long gone.

 

Not sure she's keeping the outfit as-is, but I kind of like it. Think she's snatched the wig off Analei's head for real!

The weather finally cooperated (sort of) and I managed to get out and and shoot a bit. I drove up to Redwood Shores, to the lair of Larry and shot around Oracle HQ. Its an impressive campus, with an impressively large security force.

Like my other Power Figures, this is loosely based on African Bochia and Minkisi power figures, sometimes called "nail fetishes" because of the nails and other pieces of metal that are driven into them ritually to release their magical power.

 

The figure (head, arms,legs, body) is entirely hand-sculpted by me.

Additive material includes acrylic “doll eye” beads hand-painted by me, replica antique doll parts, fishing net, glass beads, rusted nails.

A visit to the site known as the Oracle of Delphi or where in Greek Mythology a High Priestess of the Temple of Apollo served as the oracle. It occupies an impressive the south-western slope of Mount Parnassus overlooking the coastal plain to the south and the valley of Phocis.

Гітара -- Ukrainian for Guitar. I figured that since I'm making an everyday familiar object look so foreign to the visual senses that I needed a foreign language to describe the set too.
