This Fast Friday Fabric Challenge called for dance and movement. My first thought was to use various pieces of tulle and organza for
ballet tutus, but the bag of plastic mesh pieces which I have been collecting for a while called out louder! I then bunched another piece
for each, and made the upper bodice, cutting away the center to make arms, with a bit of lace and a couple beads to cover the join at the
waistline. I hesitated about actually adding legs, hands and faces, since I'm not good at faces. However, the feeling of movement is there
even without actual bodies, so I decided to leave it like that.
The background is a single piece of pastel colors with an overall scattering of gold flecks, but they don't photograph well. I added a scattering
of yellow, gold and orange beads over the surface, then used the same lace as part of the border.
