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!
There is certainly an air of passion that surrounds `Nico1 with regard to his love for art. This is obvious through the many projects and quests for improving the deviantART community that he has involved himself in. From behind the scenes to being on stage, Nico has extended himself above and beyond to give his all to the community that he loves. Film is an area that Nico has always given great care to, from giving detailed critiques to filmmakers and in highlighting some of the top film community artists through interview expose's, helping set the standard for what dA film is all about.
