I did not do a lot of work in 2021, but I definitely went through an extended phase when I was intrigued with producing images of ballerinas. Inspired by a piece of pink and grey printed fabric from my stash, I produced two different images of little ballerina girls in 3-dimensional pink tutus I called “Tiny Dancers”. I then made three images of older girl ballerinas, imagining them as role models for my little girl dancers. I called that group of images “Ballerina Divas”. Lastly, I created three images using the colors of three African-American sororities which I called “Ballerina Girls”. Along the way, I experienced some issues with reproducing the images with dark colored tutus, which was discouraging since I had expected them to be very popular. I learned that I should probably experiment with new materials before using them in quilts that I plan to have reproduced.
