Despite a recent inability to keep a single train of thought in my head for more than ten minutes, I've managed to spend some time considering how to go about constructing this "ballet" bag.  (I take that back; I've no problem thinking about keeping food in my stomach lately.)  I browsed through ballet and dance-related photographs on Flickr, following gut instinct and noting the images I was most drawn to.  I found that I'm drawn to the fluid lines of movement inherent in these still photos.  I also took notice of the variety of rich fabrics typically used in ballet costumes.

With that said, here are some of the images that captivated me and will likely serve as an inspiration jumping off point for this fun, new project!

See, I forgot what I was going to say next.  Hmm.  Well, this weekend should hold a bit of much-needed sunshine which is sure to get my grand ambitions rolling.  I plan on shopping for a new wardrobe (since none of my pants fit comfortably anymore and my baby belly is starting to balloon), and browsing the fabric stores for materials for this bag.  Hopefully work will be underway this weekend!
