Midsummer Fairy Festival....

I did a short performance and mini lesson today at the Midsummer Fairy Festival. It was sponsored by the Historial Society. It was fun! It was about 110 degrees outside...and the dance stage had no shade which was quite difficult. I did some Isis Wings and Veil, but had to quickly stop that because of the breeze that was blowing. I did have a couple fairies come and dance with me. I made flower fairy crowns for me and my daughter. I also made the flower belt. I also dug out a yarn belt I made years ago and never wore......I didn't have time to make fairy wings....actually I tried to..but it didn't work...so I gave up! HA!

So I went all over today looking for bead caps...and still couldn't find ones I like. I did go to Ornamentea and get a couple types of chain, more filagrees, ect. I am starting to assemble some little pearl danglies with a coin on it..I am going to make several different styles...The chain will also have some plain coins attached...as well as a pearl linked between the chain.

Some pics:

decisions decisions.....

Final decisions are difficult for me...I can never make up my mind. I wasn't happy with some of the things I got from Fire Mountain so I am back to the original filagrees I bought at Ornamentea. I think I might do three pieces on the belt..then drape the chain with coins and pearls...
still deciding...LOL

Coin costume update....

June 8, 2009

I ordered a bunch of stuff from Fire Mountain and am waiting patiently for it to arrive. (some pearls, filigree, pendents, beads, ect. I started sewing the coins onto the bra and also made 2 coin bracelets.

Beauty Portraits.....

I had a wonderful photo shoot with Audra doing her beauty lighting and glamor photos. Azhia (Christine Millan) who is a bellydancer and makeup artist was in town doing makeup and hair for the shoots. She was AWESOME! I had so much fun! I highly recommend both...they work so well together and produced such gorgeous images.

has been made on my coin costume...I see it in my head coming together....bought some filigrees at the bead store today...ordering some pearls tomorrow...and more coins have been drilled!

I had bought a pearl necklace at Target and a shell one at World market but decided they didn't work, so they will be returned.

I am going to do a drape and hang coins and pearl danglies on that as well as add some pearls to the filigrees and in the chain links.
