Candy Cane Dancer

This Christmas dancing cutie was created by me during one of my wild creative streaks and is an ode to the magic of Christmas and the joy that is experienced through the eyes of a child. It also brings back memories of the ballet dance recitals I was in around Christmas time. 

I handcrafted her with vintage finds, love, and attention to each and every detail:

• Made in Japan cotton spun head.
• Vintage ribbon spool - beautifully worn patina from the glass glitter.
• Vintage button.
• Vintage metal candy cane.
• Vintage pipe cleaners for arms and legs.
• Vintage Christmas ornament.
• Vintage German crepe paper.
  
• ... except for her skirt. It is cleverly crafted from a super sweet cupcake liner. 

*Crafting with vintage finds means that each item I choose as part of the final creation has a wonderful patina that adds to the charm and uniqueness of the final piece of art. So much better than mass produced boring stuff.

*Other items shown in the pictures are props and are not included. A road trip adventure to your local antique store would be the perfect place to find similar items.
