"Sacagawea Paperdoll" sample for thesis! This is Sacagawea during her journey as a guide to Lewis and Clark. Didn't feel like adding little Jean Baptiste (her son) to this peice, although his is in other I did for the project. The final has two outfits hanging in the background on the clothesline that she can wear. The project is watercolor with brown ink and a bit of white acrylic in the end for snow. I actually did a ton of research on her before beginning the project, and I must say she by far exceeded my expectations for what an incredible 16yr old girl she was! Believe it or not, I actually had my mom pose for her, since she was the only female handy to pose while i was back in kansas for the weekend. The weather was in my favor that weekend, and when it started to snow the most beautiful big snowflakes my mom and i ran over to our neighbor Dr. Fleske's backyard to snap reference pics.
