Onoma's gender revealed!

Onoma is a very interesting doll that Arlee created.

Onoma has such energy coming from her.

I figured Onoma was a female

 because it seems she is well endowed already

and if male her name would have been

Onomo with an o at the end. 

In many languages

the 'a' or the 'o' signify gender.

Weird I know, but that's my story.

Onoma needed some more color,

so she got eyelids made of turquoise teardrop stone beads.

I also gave her a metal mouth,

made from the end of a measuring tape.

I just bent it into shape to fit her face.

Onoma has been traveling all winter,

and we had some unusual freezes

here in south Texas, when she arrived.

To keep her warm, I made her a rabbit fur cape.

The cape is painted blue underneath,

along with spirals and other symbols.

Unbeknown to her,

 these symbols

signify where she came from.

The cape has a Tagua nut button for a closure.

The little apron in front has an

energy symbol painted on it.

I also added a blue/black feather to her dreadlock type hair.

The journal Arlee made is very cool.

I added her new face photo along with spirals

all around her, and

a quote from Aristotle....

"The energy of the mind is the essence of life."

The page on the right are some of her thoughts...

I will not worry about my unknown past or from where I came

I will shape the clay of my life into what I wish it to be

I walk alone with my shadow on the edge of the precipice

This I am today.

The next journal page on the left is her energy symbol.

The journal page on the right

was one I added to the journal

from some of my graffiti background pages.

I told of my contributions,

signed and dated it.

Onoma continues on her year long journey.

Gail in North Carolina is the next contributing artist.
