Named after the girl I made it for (isn't she lucky?) This was my second beaded bra - and began as a match for the belt my model's wearing (you can see it better in some of my other shots - here, for instance), but it mutated into something more original. Or I just forgot I was working to match the belt. It's probably my favourite bra so far - and has a lovely crossover back, which is extra supportive for the exuberant bellydancer.
Whoaness, talk about intricate! That must've taken for-bloody-ever. If it had more coins on it I'd be dying for it. (Big tribal bellydance fan here. ) You've got some talent with the itty bitty beads, that's for sure!
I dislike tribal style - I've found it to be not so much bellydance as a new form of Western fusion dance that is firmly grounded in a cross-cultural view of bellydance.
I also think that whilst the costumes can look magnificent, someone of my stature (5"1 and chubby) looks utterly ridiculous in the ornate, chunky-beaded costumes favoured by tribal dancers - kind of like a stunted christmas tree gone psycho. Hence why I favour beads.
That said, I'd really love to try my hand at some coined gawazee or beledi-style costumes at some point in the future.
I did both tribal style (ATS) as well as the cabaret style for a while there. Though I had to drop the tribal because of uni I would have liked to keep doing both because they seem somewhat similar yet are completely differe. It was a nice contrast. And I must say that your work with the bellydance bras is excellent. My attempts to make my own look quite dodgy compared to yours lol. Great work!
Don't think this is just another news article with the usual love deviations that have already hundreds of favorites! All of these deviations don't have even 100 favorites & they're the best!
Please watch them closely and show your appreciation! @
`karemelancholia is one of the most genuine deviants you could ever met. Always active and a true deviantART cheerleader and supporter in every aspect. You can always count on her to lend a hand or get involved, and you usually will find her doing large amounts of both at any given moment. She's consistently reports on contests around dA, showcases the efforts of her fellow artists and shows her charitable side through various activities. Besides all of this, she's a truly talented artist which is why she's an obvious choice for deviousness this month. Read More
