Waltz of the Flowers


April Showers

It is kind of simple... just not clean and graphic.

 

I made the Flower costumes for the dance studio where my girls danced. Each silk petal (60 per costume) is hand dyed. I made them in 2001 and didn't sleep for weeks in order to finish them on time. :)

My daughter, Annette, is the dancer on the far right.

You've created a beautiful LO - it really emphasizes the dancers' grace and has such a nice ethereal feel. The costumes are amazing! (I hope you managed to stay awake for the recital!)

This is a very pretty layout. You blended the photo into the background enough so that it doesn't stand or poke out, but still remains the focus of the page. The colors you used complement the photo, but don't overpower it. Very, very beautiful.
