- Cigale peinte & empaillee / Stuffed & painted cicada -*

 

I found that little cicada during the exhibit of the "20th fair of carved clay figures and cribs of Provence" in Sceaux (a beautiful little town near Paris).

Hand made in plater, hand-painted; hand modeled and hand shaded!! ... mmmh, computer rendered though!!
