Papier mache mannequin covered with polymer clay.  I transferred images onto the thinly rolled clay first using isopropyll alcohol and water and then covered the mannequin before baking the whole thing.  The borders are also polymer clay.  Hot fix crystals were added at the end and the borders given a "antique" look using acrylic paint.
