Prompt: <\/strong>Wee!Lilith<\/p>\n

Medium:<\/strong> Collage, paper, paint, ribbon, screencaps, pen, barbies, thread, dagger<\/p>\n

Artist’s notes: <\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong>This was one of the first ideas for a card I had, but I needed to complete the Jake card as Eight of Swords first as the white hadled dagger appears in both pieces. The prompt mentions a woman who is almost like a walking encycopedia with a lot of knowledge. I wanted to show that Lilith is very very old but put a twist on it by showing her in a childs body.<\/p>\n

The swords cards also relate to focus and mental abilities so I wanted it to reflect that through the idea that this sweet (creepy) child could kill you just by snapping her fingers. I also liked the idea of referencing all the human vessels (both adult and child) that Lilith uses and discards once used.<\/p>\n

The background is a dolls face image tiled and then covered in very soft white Japanese paper with silver and gold flecks. Behind that (though you can’t see it in the card – check below image) the background is paper made of pressed yellow leaves (fallen leaves linking with fallen vessels in my mind).<\/p>\n

The two dogs are meant to represent the hellhounds under her control and are from a design I found in a graphic novel years ago and also have tattooed on my lower back.<\/p>\n

The Barbies at the bottom are to represent her discarded vessels, mainly consisting of blond adults, but theres a blond child in there too. Woven between the Barbie’s limbs are drid and pressed leaves. The dagger is the same one I used for the Jake card. The whole thing is on a square canvas and now sits above my bath!<\/p>\n
