Artist: Misty Benson (me!) Munny's Name: Breaking Away... Materials: Mixed Media (Acrylic Paint and Paperclay) I believe she is about 10.5"x11"x12" long from tentacle to tentacle. About the Munny: This Rococo Octo-Girl views life as one big swoon. Wherever she goes, her lovely tentacles are always touching and exploring life. In her hand, she holds part of a broken limb from her own body. When an octopus is captured by a predator or gets stuck in a precarious situation, it may escape by breaking off an arm which it may later regrow. Instead of holding onto things in life that no longer matter to this aquatic angel, she breaks away in order to start anew. Won't you live in her dreamy world?
