Back to Work

Back to the dance studio has been all right. I thought I might feel overwhelmed to jump from 0 to 25 hours in "one swell foop" as my MFA advisor used to say. But, it just feels like old times. This week back we had the extra break of measuring all the dancers and the extra fun of introducing the dances they will learn for the end of term concert. I am pleased with the fledgling choreography I have introduced--the dances are developing their own themes and they are not echoing old ideas as far as I can recognize.

Here is the finished autumn Brazilian. Never sure what to do with the things I've finished. Framing is hideous expensive. I finally got an vintage dance poster replica matted and transplanted in an old frame for the bathroom this week and that was expensive enough!

Next I will likely finish this piece from a Brazilian class a while ago. It was designed to go across the upper back of a denim shirt, but I don't wear denim shirts. I am a very monochromatic and unembellished dresser. Wearing too much color or pattern freaks me out. Not useful for an embroiderer, knitter, etc. So I don't know what I am going to do with this piece either.

From Barbie's closet today is a summer-squash-multicolor seed stitch sweater and coordinating skirt perfect for warding off the early fall chill.
