    You know when you have this many comments it’s a great piece. I love the card detailing, very creative. The bold contrast will look great on stage.

    Thanks so much everyone for the lovely comments! :D AnaJan, I’m glad that it reminds you of Alice in Wonderland cause that means my design worked well. It was made for a demi-character routine in which the dancer was portraying The Queen of Hearts. Thanks again everyone! xo

    No words can describe how much joy I feel looking at this piece! And the other pics of the head piece too! I love it so much. It would feel so magical to be able to dress up in such nice costumes and dance. And there is even the pink flamingo putting club in the picture! LOL! So cute:)
