"Beautiful Bacterium" ~ Kokeshi Doll #2

The concept of this was inspired by Maren's comment on my (Cyclical) Food Chain Matroyshka dolls, as well as waking up one morning, and feeling the need to make DNA strands out of Sculpey (um, perhaps this was slightly over ambitious I'm afraid...).
Regardless, it made me think that perhaps bacterium//bacteria can be perceived as something beautiful....with their wispy flagellum//flagella as an accessory, or resembling some sort of regal Elizabethan collar (right, Michelle & Sheena?!)! Ahhaahahahaaaaaa ;P

Here's the process!

Added more paint all around...and then applied varnish...
