about me
A darkly sticky mirror--energy vitae--undulate pendulum--light in opposition--dripping heart--snakes engorged--writhing peace--hopeful spark--love in love--misty evening coffee--gaudy laughter--Crone in movement--subsequent opinions--wolf-friend.
Belly Dancing has become a very important activity in life. It is not even an aspect anymore--its it is a full-bodied avatar.
I have been studying Raqs Gothique for almost a year now, and taking steps into the circle of Tribal fusion and ATS. I costume--for myself, and for my friends (who are all on a budget :) and anyone else who asks of me. I rarely make anymore that isn't for bellydancing; skirts, bras, head and hair pieces, belts, chainmaile jewelry, sleeves.
Modern fusion Belly Dancing is my extreme outlet for creativity. It allows me flexibility to experiment with fabric, findings, movement, and music. I find the darker influences of Gothic music and style combined with the possitive projective energy of Belly Dance to be a complimentary juxtaposition to my self.
I am giddy and wild; I laugh too much; I bounce or shimmy or slither when I want too.
I love to sew for other people, and post to my gallery photos of each new creation. I hope Sanguine Moon Designs to continue to grow as I move into custom design pieces for a wide range of people. I especially love making accessories, and revel in creating chainmaile, hair pieces, and utilizing unique findngs for one-of-a-kind items. Please visit my photos (they update pretty frequently), and feel free to contact me with questions or ideas.

~ Suddenly my Wednesday night has become quite free.
The Gothic Ball hosted by the USM Pagan Student Association has been cancelled last minute, therefore Sanguine and Selcouth will not be performing.

However, this dark dulcet duo will be celebrating their UN-Birthdays at Plague on Friday, March 7th 2008. They'll be manic with desire to dance, storming the floor with experim...

Hey!
So I have a new home now. Getting settled, still stuff to do, old apartment to clean, but that's all managable.
We have an open dinning room (once the last boxes are taken care of), and an open space leading into the livingroom, which ended up being LESS crouded then before I moved in. And what does that mean.....?
PRACTICE!
I haven't practiced at home in FOREVER. I haven't even been able to get to class for the past two weeks, and its killing me. I was just thinking this mornin...
