Baz and The Prophecy a monbons doll + felt tapestry In collaboration with @iamamythologicalcreature as part of Carry On Through The Ages 2024 (@carryonthroughtheages)
I had a lot of fun reinterpreting Jo's stunning visual art in order to bring Egyptian Baz to life in way that was both beautiful and worthy of his noble roots. In the image above, Baz is admiring a prophecy about his curly-haired rival/doomed crush immortalized on the wall of his mother's tomb. Since Simon is meant to be art, he is done in the more traditional Egyptian style.
I created the Winged Simon tapestry using tan linen for the backdrop and white linen for his kilt, multi-color felt (including metallic felt!) for his body and wings. The bling is courtesy of individually hand-sewn sequins, as well as beads and a small chain for jewelry.
Egyptian Baz also boasts several beautiful details, including real jewelry (I pierced his ears!), gold cuffs on his arms and legs, and a pleated linen kilt with several belts made of both gold rope and beadwork.
It is hard to capture the sparkle of either piece in a picture, so enjoy a video below!
