Wow, this one was a bit of a journey! This started life as a photo of my beautiful little sister playing around in the back yard with my kids. I caught her in a pose that reminded me of a Spanish Flamenco dancer and just HAD to try to turn her into one. Only thing was – she was dressed in jeans, a woollen jumper and sneakers. So – first off, she needed a dress. I loathe using other people’s art to make my own so I did not want to take the easy way out by downloading a stock photo for the dress. I had nothing remotely like a the right type of dress to use so I ended up creating this one out of, I kid you not, 417 tiny layers of texture (my own resource, naturally) to create all the waves etc. HOURS and HOURS of work, but the end result was worth it, to my mind anyway. Then of course her hair style needed to be changed from a ponytail into a bun, and flowers needed to be added. / Then I decided that I wasn’t happy with the abstract background I had her in. Next followed a marathon of settings, again all using my own resources, to try her in, from beach scenes to perching on flower petals. Nothing was quite right. / This is what I decided on in the end. My only lament is that because she is tiny, much of the detail in the dress is lost. I hope you’ll view this large to get some idea of just how detailed the dress is, if only to humour me! :))) All resources my own, taken with my Canon Powershot A480 point and shoot in the past month. Proudly New Zealand-Made!!! :) Close up shot of the dancer: SOLD – Two greeting cards of this image, July 2009.

Chakra Goddess featured in CORE 14-7-09 Chakra Goddess was drawn on the 13-7-09 This is the third drawing in my Goddess series. Dance Dance to sweat my prayers / Dance to shed my tears / Dance to set my heart free / Dance to let me be me. Move to shift the emotion / Move to turn black to pink / Move to stop my blood boil / Move to open my heart to think. Maps made to ecstasy / Travel this odyssey of imagination / Climb step by step closer to bliss / Reaching close and closer to your kiss. Dance and I feel your lips all over me / feel my body come alive with sensuality / Lose myself inside the magic of your embrace / Music stimulates and my heart starts to race. Chakradance unblocks all my energy centres / Red: Primal, primitive and sexual / Orange: Sacral, emotive and sensual / Yellow: Power, clarity and fire / Pink/Green: Love of you…Love of me / Blue: Voice to speak my heart / Indigo: To see with my imagination and soul / Purple: To be one with the universe in spirit My heart expands…My mind explores / I move to a state of wonder and enchantment / And create a world of dreams. Five Rhythms takes me outside my stress / Flowing I move to the yin, the moon the ebb and flow / Staccato I connect to the beat of the city street / Chaos I release the wild fire in the pain the pleasure / Lyrical I dance of the siren, the playful courtesan / Stillness I meditate to silence that contains and embraces my soul. Belly dance gets me in touch with my inner goddess / with my tummy power and intuition / It enables me to know who I am / to move from deep within my feminine core / The power and passion and / confidence not to hide. Salsa to climb inside my sexuality / to touch, taste and feel the passion / to move my body to the steps / and to mirror the rhythm / And inhale the excitement of the beat. Deeper I go inside my soul / The more I enter the dance / the more that I feel whole / Fragments of colour, hue and tone / Seem to merge and create a textured art / Expand beyond my imagination / Move my body outside the limitations of mind / and into the state of trance / I feel the joie de vivre breathe in my blood / Oh my I just love to dance!!!!!!

Some say the modern day Pow Wow competition dance known as the Ladies Fancy Shawl Dance has its roots in a ceremonial dance called the Butterfly Dance. Here is a Cherokee account of how that dance came to be. I’ve been told the Shoshone have a similar story but I heard this version from Cherokee dancers in North Carolina. These dancers told me the Ladies Fancy Shawl Dance is a representation of the following Butterfly Legend: Many, many years ago when the Earth was still quite new, there was a beautiful butterfly who lost her mate in battle. To show her grief, she took off her beautiful wings and wrapped herself in a drab cocoon. In her sadness, she could not eat and she could not sleep and her relatives kept coming to her lodge to see if she was okay. Of course she wasn’t, but she didn’t want to be a burden on her people so she packed up her wings and her medicine bundle and took off on a long journey. She wandered about for many days and months, until finally she had gone all around the world. (To this day, butterflies go on long journeys, but that is another story.) On her journey she kept her eyes downcast and stepped on each stone she came to as she crossed fields and creeks and streams. Finally, one day as she was looking down, she happened to notice the stone beneath her feet, and it was so beautiful that it healed her sorrow. She then cast aside her cocoon, shook the dust from her wings, and donned them once more. She was so happy she began to dance to give thanks for another chance to begin her life anew. Then she went home and told The People about her long journey and how it had healed her. To this day,The People dance this dance as an expression of renewal, and to give thanks for new seasons, new life, and new beginnings. The shawl in the Fancy Shawl Dance represents the butterfly’s wings, the fancy steps and twirls represent the butterfly’s style of flight. This is another reason you will sometimes hear the Fancy Shawl Dance Competition referred to as ” the butterfly dance.” At Crow Fair in Montana, I was told another story about the Fancy Shawl Dance. While the Crow people also equate this dance form as an expression of re-emergence and renewal of life forces, they have a very different explanation of how it began. Their version goes like this: When the men returned from World War II, many of them were impressed with the dance troupes they had seen perform in Europe, and the colorful clothing the European dancers wore. A transformation began in the Men’s Traditional Dances as these men began to incorporate bright colors into their traditional outfits, and add aerobic movements into their interpretation of traditional dances. This evolved into a very strenuous dance competition category called the Fancy Dance. The young ladies of the time thought this looked like a lot of fun and they wanted to try it, too. Not to be out done by the men, some of these bold young women began to strap two bustles to their backs and compete in the Men’s Fancy Dance category at pow wows. Well, as you can imagine,this did not go over very well with the men, who were outraged at women who were forward enough to push their way into a MAN’s category of competition. (Remember, this was the 1940’s.) What was even worse, many times the women were beating the men in competition! This was considered pretty disgraceful from the men’s point of view, yet they also had to keep their women happy. Eventually, a council of Elders got together to ponder what they could do about this pitiful situation. After much thought and consideration,it was decided to give the ladies their own category of Fancy Dance, but something more regal and graceful, which was more suited to the expected behavior of women. The Elders decided that the Butterfly Dance would be suitable for adaptation to this new dance style for women. Thus, the Fancy Shawl Dance category was begun in modern competitions. By the way, the Crow Fair All Indian Rodeo and Pow Wow is coming up the third weekend in August at Crow Agency, Montana. If you only go to one pow wow in your lifetime, this is the one I would recommend. It’s the largest outdoor powwow in America, and there are over 1,000 tipis in the encampment, which has earned it the title of “Tipi Capital of the World.” Read more about: / Dance Regalia of the Fancy Shawl Dancer / How the Fancy Shawl Dance Competition is Judged / Crow Fair

Could the universe have a soul, and we are that soul with the entire cosmos for a body? ~Ernesto Cardinale ~ I absolutely love Cosmos – the flower and the outer state, they are both simply confusingly abundant with life and beauty. The Cosmoses remind me how small we really are on the great world we stand on, how significantly insignificant we are yet together create something beautiful, a unique pattern for each section, like our DNA. Just love the thought provoking beauty of it! / This is an edited version of the one below: /
