Crown Tales

When I'm making my images I want to capture the strong female domination and leadership, and combine it with energetic colors, exquisite textures and ladylike ornaments. All of these pictures are little stories, and all of them have big heads in them. Literally heads, and head referred to power, crown, lead, highest.
