Tiny Dancer

The minute I saw this chair I knew it needed two things – pink and polka dots – but I didn’t realize the piece would take on a life of its own. Once I chose the fabrics I felt like the project was pretty much out of my hands and the chair was in charge. I’m glad I got to go along for the ride! 
The finished piece reminds me of an enchanted dancer who got turned into a chair by a magic spell. It’s a little bit naughty (red tulle petticoat, lace-up back bodice and black lace trim) and a little bit nice (hearts, removable fluffy skirt cushion and tiny ballet shoes), just as an enchanted dancer should be.
Pssst! – Peek under my skirt!
