It’s That Time of Year…

…when the world falls in…Just kidding. Graduation? Nope. Summer? Nope.

Dance Recitals.

Well, it will be in a couple weeks, just like it will be time for graduations and summer. As I’m looking forward to year three of watching Emily & Angie & Kristin’s dance recital in a couple weeks, I thought I would share some of my favorites shots I took for at last year’s recital (the Nice Dance Studio in Virginia Beach).

the rhythm of the dance

this here is what I like to call movement. and awesomeness.

Noble & Exalted – Name Plate

I began this during the mod-podge frenzy before Christmas. I had finished the board then so when I decided this was where I was headed I jsut had to come up with the design.

I picked some fonts in Adobe Illustrator and printed out her name and the definition the way I wanted them to look. To add them to the piece, I scribbled and the back with a pencil and traced over it front the front so the outline would transfer. After filling that in with paint, I used some of the rub-ons you can get in the scrapbooking section for the imagery along the edges.

Wall plate - Alicia

And Voila! Once the board is done, you’ve got most of the work completed.
