... so I'm getting my own.I've ordered changes, like the artist here couldn't do hands - and Lady R's snappish retort about that comment is posted below - so simply glued on photocopies and painted over the top, but my guy in Dafen CAN do hands so I've asked him to do them properly in proportion.
Anyway, watch this space because soon I'll be able to post up my very own copy of this one.
Mind you, I barely have any wall space left. Bloody Dafen! Simply too much wonderful art up there that I simply MUST own!
Later: Yayyy! They have my copy done! Now ... do I like it as much? Mmmmm!

Um ... sadly, I fear you missed the point of the print/painting. Far from being someone who "couldn't do hands so simply glued on photocopies and painted over the top", the artist ( http://www.kristenawest.com/about/about.html ) is actually a professional mixed media/collage artist, maker of "art dolls" and a sculptor/painter. You can see more of her work here: http://www.innerlightarts.com/arts/dolls/dolls.html , here: http://www.innerlightarts.com/index.html and here: http://www.innerlightarts.com/cd01.html That particular piece you fell in love with was an example of her use of collage in creating archetypal goddess imagery, similar to those down the left-hand side of the Vintage Collage Sheets link (where she highlights her love of using lots of HANDS and FEET in collage). You can also see from those examples that she tends to be quite cavalier with the quaint notion of "proportion". I'm sure Kristena would be highly amused (or perhaps dead annoyed) by your take on it, though! x
