Sooooooooooo I found this really cool artists project called the The Sketch Book Project.....

The idea is you sign up, they send you a sketch pad, you fill that sketch pad with your creations...send it back...and then it goes on display at The Brooklyn Art Library....

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW....so yeah I signed up.

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWW.....what have I done?

well, I don't really consider myself an artist in any way.....more a dabbler in all things general....I never went to art school. Its the one biggest regret of my life. I'm interested in textile arts and media mix arts...so I dabble with no focus at all.

I want to do this to push myself.....plus such a really cool public art display. I really want to go here and check out this display. But heyyyyyyy it goes on tour too!!

Well its been a long time coming.....but I got it together and finished Susan's Frankovich's belt!!!

Last August while I was visiting Croatia, Susan had given me a pile of goodies that she had been collecting to use in creating a delux belt.


So pretty right???? I was very much inspired to create something for her that had loads of grey and silver tones, with black accents. Something sparkly, but vintage using coins and afghan studs. This is what I came up with!!








I hope she likes it:)))

Ok this weeks Secret Feature, Features the lovely lady Giuliana Angelini.

Giuliana is a very strong  Tribal fusion dance performer and teacher from Munich, Germany. Her style is unique with strength and elegance, and a very clear passion for what she does.


She has been traveling alot threw Europe, performing at many festivals.Last year Giuliana came in second place in the international Tribal competition at the Hanover Tribal Festival.


Her latest project is a video project. The project features Guiliana performing beautifully in an amazing industrial backdrop, entitled La Valse.

The video has beautiful cinematography, well edited,  and beautiful dancing. Whats unique about this video is you can here the audio of Giuliana's costuming, and movements with the floor. Which is interesting often you don't get that point of view in professionally produced Tribal Fusion videos.


Ok if you wanna check out this video out go here....


and be sure to find out more about the lovely Giuliana at her Myspace

Last year I got to meet these lovely gals at the Bellyfusions festival in Paris...and to say the least they surprised me in the most delightful way.


The costumes they had on, was this crazy mix of candy and raver girls.....but that's not what caught my eye. What caught my eye was the really amazing musicality, creativity, and extreme fun element.

I do think that's what these girls love to do is have fun, and their energy on stage can be infectious!




Ok here is there new video called Circus...super fun!
