Sketch for Mel.

My lovely belly dance teacher Melusina and I have agreed to a trade in which she will give me some private dance lessons in exchange for a new business card design. I have a pretty high bar set for me with this one because Mel is so incredibly beautiful, and I want this to look as much like her as possible.  I based this image on a clip of her performing a mesmerising sword dance that I posted on my blog previously. Her end of the bargain will involve helping me with a choreography to some of my favourite music, which will most likely be either Take Refuge or Deep Politics by Grails, depending on her preference. I'm very much looking forward to having a choreography that I can practise and enjoy at home, to the music that I feel inspired by.

hey lady! thanks for the nice words and sorry for the belated reply. I do have a waiting list around 12 months long, but it does depend on what you're after - smaller pieces can be squeezed through sooner. I love babushka dolls! email me at amy@chapeltattoo.com and we'll talk further, I definitely have some ideas for glass mushrooms you could make me in return!
