little tap shoes...

a little present coming to the Tiffany's Dance Academy studios this week....

{Artwork completed in collaboration with Jessica Dittmer}

And happy birthday to the little miss tap shoes!!!  With Jessica's artistic help, I created a gorgeous canvas art piece, commemorating Miss M's dance recital with Tiffany's Dance Academy this last summer.  The lyrics to the song, "Little Tap Shoes", are written on the sides of the canvas....the tune of the song goes along with Shirley Temple's, "Animal Cracker's in my Soup.".....soooooo cute!!!!  Miss M stole the show that day.  Happy Birthday baby girl!!!!

{Artwork completed in collaboration with Jessica Dittmer. ?Full name of dancer was applied to canvas for the client.}

Wow, did not realize that the last time I blogged was April, right before our move.  Well, we are here in Corning NY and needless to say, still getting settled.  However, still working hard.  Setting up the business here in New York, slowly establishing a studio space (you would think with my new house there would be at least one room that I can call my studio...no; but I do have a fab office now!!  With a door!!).  Until then I love the adventure of the outdoors and other indoor establishments.

Well on another note, my collaborative work was published as an ad for CostumeManager.com in the July issue of "Dance Studio Life" .  Spear heading the ad project, President and owner of CostumeManager.com, Paul Henderson, and graphic designer, Arden Waters, approached me in choosing the appropriate photos for the ad and wanted to use the illustrative features of the  StoryBook Look ® Art by Jessica Dittmer, that I collaboratively offer to my dance and session clients.  The ideas were discussed and with Jessica's final artistic touches to the image, we came up with a unique look for the CostumeManager.com ad.
