I started it - and love it.

You can see the unfinished Scorpio Belly Dancer below.
She will be available this way (B&W) on products in my shop ONLY until the end of Feb.

I can't believe I am this far with it already. I didn't think I'd even get to it for another month or so - I guess I am on a roll. Hopefully I can get this done and be inspired to do Sagittarius right away - then the Zodiac Belly Dancer Series will be finished. I was thinking about doing "The Seasons of Belly Dancers" or something like that next - haven't really figured out what to call it yet - winter spring summer and fall. I need to do a smaller set next, something not so overwhelming. Maybe a flower set as well, because there would be a set number to do - like Rose, Iris and such. We'll see. I really just want to have fun with my artwork again.


I will start coloring her this weekend, once I get more supplies.

So, Libra Belly Dancer is finally finished. It feels like it took forever.

I don't know when I will start on another one. I find that I am not a very disciplined artist. It's all on a whim - I just get a bust of inspiration, then it may fizzle out for a bit. I wish I could be one of those people who could just draw anything asked of them right then and there - but that's just not me.

You can see Libra on my website she is also in my shop.

I haven't drawn a new belly dancer since before Anson was born. My zodiac series only has 4 left, I really need to get back to that. Plus like 4 or 5 belly dancers want me to draw them. I've told them all I will, but haven't set any time lines.

Today I started drawing again. I was afraid after so many months of not doing it that I had lost it. It seems I haven't - so I am now working on Belly Dancer Libra.
