Cherry Tart

This super cute fascinator was made by me with the thought that it would be perfect for a burlesque performer and that is exactly who purchased it!  She is a lovely gal who performs with an Ottawa based burlesque troupe and is planning to wear it on stage, if she hasn’t already.

This was my first attempt at producing a three diimensional image from nothing to be placed on a hat and I was quite thrilled with the results.  Love the glitter and leopard print…..so burlesque and pin-up!

This was an exciting sale for me as one of my desires and goals is to create costumes and accessories for the stage. theatre and in my wildest dreams…movies!  There has been some mention of perhaps hiring me to design costuming and accessories for some of the troupe’s shows now that they have met me and seen my ideas and capabilities. They may even be interested in a rental arrangement for commissioned pieces from me.  Keep your fingers crossed for me…and toes for good measure.  I’ve never actually seen anyone who can cross their toes…anyone, anyone?
