EVOLUTION OF A FAIRY DANCER

Somewhere buried deep in my memory is the presence of the fairy dancer.  She keeps re-appearing in my imagination in many forms - and she comes out in my design work over
and over.  Sometimes I see a version of her
in a Victorian die cut scrap:


and sometimes in an antique costume, like the
old theatre piece I wore at Halloween:


and she came out when I 
designed this Santos figure:



Here she is most recently, in the process of being
turned into a little puppet:

and of course, she comes to life and dances
every fall at the Theatre of Dreams!

For sure, she will come to visit this fall 
at my shop in Port Costa!
