I've been a little scared to touch them because they are so lovely, all pink and satin. I started with a list of ideas in my sketchbook, then did some drawing. I considered several alternative options but have come back around to painting an image on the slippers.
I'll just answer the question that surely every reader of this post is wondering right now, "yes, I did try them on and attempt to dance around." They are about two sizes too big for my feet, but that's not what made me unable to stand for more that just a second. Really, it hurts and I can't believe that those dancers can even stand up on them. It makes their performances even more amazing.

If this is not an opportunity to work those ridiculously frothy tutus into a painting, there will never be one.
Just saying.

No joke - it's incredible that people actually look graceful wearing ballet shoes. I'm sure the after will be much more engaging than the before pic.
I'm sure you will do such a beautiful job.
At least you don't have to paint a guy in tights. Talk about ouch!
#2 dances on Toe. She can teach you. I think you could do it, especially since you clean your house in heels!
And I agree - you should be painting in your tutu.
You get to do the coolest things! I can't wait to see what you paint. Good luck!
