She looks like she has rather large feet in the picture above - but it is only some sort of weird exaggeration that my camera does. If I knew a bit more about how to play around with the depth-of-field thingy, I could probably fix it!
I really like the fabric that I used for the cape - it was given to me by my dear friend Rosie Rojas and it has been in my stash for a number of years. I believe it is silk.
