A bold red lip is also sometimes used to show a powerful or confident woman, like in makeup advertisements or in fiction.

I want to use fabric to make the animals present, as well as dyed and embroidered fabric around the outside of the box to look like foliage. I still want to incorporate bioluminescence into this project so I looked at what different colors of dyed fabrics and embroidery thread looked like under a blacklight and it looked like white threat and the rojo dye were the brightest. I want to hide the blacklight in the top of the scene behind some fabric so it looks like the animals and pl...
