Happy Halloween!

I haven't updated in a while but I wanted to take a few minutes to tell you how everything is going! I have two new commissions from some wonderful ladies in my area and I'm very excited to be working with both of them! I will be designing a few Turkish vests (both short and hip length) and hopefully will begin to be able to produce them and keep them in stock!

Additionally I have found a wonderful artist who has done a few preliminary sketches for me for a Red Banshee graphic and I can't wait to see the finished product! If I get a chance to clear it with the artist I'll post the sketch here and you can get a sneak preview! If it comes out as well as I think it will, I'll definitely be using it on my business cards and website (when I get one eventually!).

Triboriginal was wonderful and everything I hoped it would be and I'm so glad I went! I think it's going to become a yearly tradition for me. The shows were absolutely amazing and some of the performances were positively stunning. I don't think I've ever cheered louder in my life. The haflas were fantastic, relaxed, fun, and open to everyone. There was music, wine, dancing, singing, and playing and I went to bed every night just humming with energy. I did get a few promo shots for my harem pants and I've posted a couple for you to check out! Kai was a great model (and she did it all for free!) and I'm very happy with the way they came out!

In other dance news, I performed my very first solo at the Colorful Waves (http://www.colorfulwaves.com/) Monster Mash hafla on Saturday. I was so nervous I couldn't even feel my arms through the whole thing and I was shaking like a leaf when I came off stage! But it was a fantastic experience and a whole new part of my dance journey and I'm thrilled that I had the chance to do it! Here's another picture!

 The photo was taken by the lovely and talented Monika Shakinovsky of Woodland Willow Photography (http://www.woodlandwillow.com/) . I made the entire costume though I didn't have a chance to really "do it up" since I was on a time limit! The bra and belt are from a different costume that I modified by adding gray lace over the glitter dot and adding a few chains to the belt.

That's all I've got for now, thank you so much for checking out my blog! (Psst: if you like it, feel free to follow it *nudge nudge wink wink*)

Joyous Samhain and a Happy Halloween to all!
