wip: disarmed woman

This is a very rough wip, I haven't even yet figured out where to place her arms. The evening I was working on this project, I selected fabrics and just started cutting out shapes.

Now I feel more comfortable about leaving them with raw edges and will probably apply them accordingly once I've decided upon their placement. Also have several strips of fabric to be added as borders or frames.
