Dictionary entry
- Type
- Set a small light serif or handwriting and leave the explanation sparse.
- Composition
- Layer cloth at different hem lengths so texture appears before the body's outline.
- Material
- Layer ecru, earth and moss natural fibers, leaving age visible in lace, leather and basketry.
- Caution
- Mushroom and woodland props are not enough. Layers, material, distance from the body and a way of life must form one system.
