I made it! and after Thursday(art final) I should be able to resume a semi-regular online life. This past week has been so unbelievably wonderful, I got my first pair of pointe shoes! I had to send them back because they were too big, but I should be getting the perfect ones today or tomorrow. Also, I got moved up to ballet four! I think things are finally taking a turn for the better, my hopes for this coming year are soaring high.
I got to help work on this tutu for the sugar plum fairy the picture is blurry, but this tutu is absolutely exquisite. Some more good news is that I'm going to be doing a self designed costuming class next semester with a focus in dance. Kristen and I are going to do it together and each of us will make our own tutus. 
The Swanhilda tutu is one of my favorites, it's for the wedding variation.
Here's some photos I took during the dry tec, they changed the backdrop before the show, that's why it's rather strange. Enjoy!
Odette from Swan Lake
Swanhilda from Coppelia
The Lilac Fairy from Sleeping Beauty
The Sugar Plum Fairy from the Nutcracker 
Giselle from Giselle
I wish you could have watched the show because the photos don't do these girls justice. I'll be back soon!bouquets,
Clara

How beautiful! I have always been so in love and spellbound by ballet. But since I am no dancer I can only sit in my room, listen to Tchaikovsky and dream. :)
hi sweetie! looking through these photos of the costume already takes my breath away. it's so beautiful, really. i won't know what to expect if i would to see it real life. gorgeous, gorgeous! xx
Thanks Clara darling- I use Russian Pointe 'rubies' they look absolutely gorgeous and are really easy to roll up in- I know that can be such a pain in brand new shoes... I've had blochs tho and they're great! good choice =)

love, xx
oh my dearest clara, oh sweet of you to care! :) i am relatively fine, just slightly stressed out, confused, and therefore unable to blog, but reading all your lovely blogs cheers me up immensely. as did your thoughtful comment, you are an angel and i promise to be back very soon, hopefully in time for Yuletide :P
lots of love and have a marvellous Christmas, full of Shakespeare toasting by the log fire, and cups of tea dusted with fairy magic

It looks like a lot of fun. The photos are great.
Oh, Clara, you are just the pure, unfiltered essence of sweet! I've been feeling the exact same way-I think I just don't comment because my comments on your post are always so long and letter-like! But please do send me a Flickr mail when you find the time/mental energy :)
And congratulations on your ballet progress! I'm so happy for you!
