Strictly metal

Naturally, I could not allow the beginning of a new season of Strictly Come Dancing* on our screens to pass by unmentioned. I just had to sashay onto the page with dancing superlatives. I even created this little artwork inspired by the lights and glamour of the show. It also fits in rather nicely with the 'metal' theme at Mixed Media Monday.

(*aka Dancing with the Stars elsewhere in the world or simply 'Strictly' in the UK).

Waltz along with my words tonight darlings as I take to the floor with my dance partner - Prose. Step to the sexy Brazilian beat of the Cha Cha Cha by taking in this rather crazy composition of silver foil, shiny metallic acrylic paints, iridescent inks, a little collage, shiny tissue paper, lashings of glitter and an overdose of swirling chiffon and rhythm. It is perhaps a little over-done and clumsy, but hey it's only week 1, there's time to improve... Over to you judges...

  16. Wow, what a great collage. It has the energy, movement and glitz of reality dancing shows. The composition has my eye moving into the space unoccupied by her 3 legs and arms. Bravo!
