Lots and lots
So, I put up a mini-update of wing earrings, since I was almost out. I got to do some fun color combos this time-- rainbow wings, peacock wings, opal wings, and some steady favorites (I swear, one day I'm doing to have an update that's nothing BUT Elf-Queen earrings). I also took some quick snaps of custom wings in progress. Check out this custom rainbow necklace:
Aaaanywho. It was a busy and productive day. I had rehearsal, then an additional hour and a half of my own practice. I've been working on stuff for solo pieces, and particularly practicing fluidity, with sword and without. I never want to underscore the importance of technique, but in my own dance I also need to work on the ability to move instinctively to the music, without over-thinking. Letting the emotion of the music show through me. So I've been working on extension and being able to spin smoothly without stumbling, doing more complicated turns with quick reversals. On getting into a good flow and keeping it going throughout a song. I've danced so much in the last three days I actually have carpet burns on my feet.
After that, I did some shipping, did photography, did photo editing, did posting, and am now relaxing with some catch-up TV and some tea. I did get a fantastic nap, though. Something about 6pm sunlight is just so comforting. It's like being drenched in gold. I love the feeling of late afternoon sunlight seeping into my skin.
Tomorrow is more shipping, then getting ready for the CCT show. I hear there will be sangria in the green room. It's the little things, really.
