La Danse de la Fée Bleue
Today where I live is a holiday, so I asked a dear friend of mine who is also a photographer to join me for a photography day at my house. We photographed many different things, using my back terrace as a studio.
Amongst other things to photograph, she brought a pair of used ballet pointe shoes that she found in a little charity shop close to her home a few months ago. Here I have photographed them on a roll of hand made paper, and accessorised it with a silk flower made by hand using the "French silk flower technique" by a fashion designer friend of mine, given to me as a gift when I turned forty - some years ago now.
I have given this image a blue wash, and I am dedicating this photo to my dear Flickr friend Finou FinouCat who is a dancer, but currently cannot dance due to damage to her foot. I am hoping that she will be able to dance again soon.
