I've been practicing a drum solo to the song West Naimas Hip by Hossam Ramzy. It's a favourite of mine to practice to because I find all the accents very pleasing! I decided to do a little filming session on the beach as it's such a beautiful location.
I got some fish bone fan veils for my collection of flow art toys and I adore how these look like fairy wings. On a sunny afternoon I ventured to a quiet spot in the forest to dance and twirl with them. I think they're so whimsical and pretty that I thought they might be appreciated here.
For those who are interested, fish bone fan veils are a type of giant fan made from a lightweight floaty fabric like chiffon and they have wires instead of wooden staves. This gives them an undulating effect. They're intended as a dance prop but I'm still getting to grips with them. I'll definitely be incorporating them into my next fairy cosplay 😆
I'm obsessed with my fire patterned silk veil fans so I took them down to the river for a sunset flow. I didn't let the wind, prickle bushes or uneven ground interrupt my flow 😆
They're just so pretty, I feel like I'm dancing with Fire.
A little flow in the forest with my fan veils. I love taking the silk veils outside, it's so nice to have space to move with them!
Here is a tiered maxi skirt I made. It was self drafted from chiffon fabric. Essentially it's 3 rectangles but it was a challenge to get the proportions right on the 3 tiers and to have the staggered effect at the front. It's light and floaty but still with the full length aesthetic 🧜🏻♀️
This was a challenge to get the proportions right but I got there in the end! It's 3 long, rectangular pieces of chiffon, with an opening at the front, to create a high-low rise skirt with the tiered effect. I'm really happy with it, it's floaty and light but still full length ☺️
I could see one of my crow associates watching me from a distance. I had a feeling he was about to fly over so I popped my phone against a tree to capture a little momento. He stayed for treats afterwards 😁
The sun is out, the garden is blooming, it seemed perfect for a spring time flow with my fan veils.
