Dancing Girl Reliquary :: Ciera's Spells

What do you give your niece when she wants to be a dancer? Spells to give her twinkle toes and happy feet, stardust and moonbeams to light her way.

The picture of the young dancing girl is from a vintage postcard. The columns next to her are wrapped with aluminum textured paper and silver and white trim. A sheer pink curtain and glass and metal vintage beaded flowers open for her perfomance. Metallic silver fringe hangs over her head as she performs before a backdrop of with silver and black marbled paper.

The relics are three antique bottles which hold Ciera's precious spells, each with it's own label: twinkle toes, stardust and moonbeams, and happy feet. The vials are stitched onto a pink bed of satin bordered by silver paper lace and pink frosted glass buttons and silver crystals.

The front of the reliquary is covered with black and mauve paper highlighted with silver glitter and wrapped with a magenta trim. A silver pin was spruced up and recommisioned to add the final decorative touch.
