When we think of Christmas the traditional colors of red and green instantly come to mind, however I decided to play with a popular color combo that wouldn't necessarily be associated with Christmas.....chocolate and aqua. I love to see this combo together and thought I'd create a snowman with the modern color comb. Who better to name the snow-woman with the modern color combo after than the pioneer of what we know today as "modern dance"......that would be Isador Duncan. She was a free spirted, barefoot dancer (1877-1927).
Click here to see a 45 second video of her dancing. She was known for wearing long flowing scarves and tragically died in a car accident when she was riding in a convertible in the French Riveria when the end of her scarf became tangled in the wheel of the little sports car and strangled her! There are Isadora Duncan schools of dance all over the world to this day.
Isadora has been sculpted from Paperclay and painted with acrylic paints. She holds a bundle of sticks tied with an aqua satin bow. There are tiny handmade ornaments on her stick bundle. She wears a handsewn brown felt hat with a tiny brooch and ribbon on the side of it. Her aqua scarf has a slight shimmer to it. She's about 7.5 inches tall. If you'd like to welcome her into her home, she will be over at
Spooky Time Jingles on December 1st.
