Description

Another installment in my "Constructed Fairytales" series. I set out to do something more warrior-like, but my daughter came up with this pose and idea, where the arrow is sticking straight up because she has made a kill.
She understands how throughout time, some people have had to live off the land and hunt to survive. But the thought of it probably inspired her soulful expression.
I bought the headdress from an Etsy seller, the bow and arrow from eBay (it is a Katniss replica bow) and I borrowed the cool leather armor from the costume department at Universal Studios.
I posted a behind the scenes shot in color on my Facebook page.
