Tutus in Blue

Both these tutus were made using the same lace and color, but the lace was cut and arranged differently on each to give a unique design for each tutu. The stretch tutu was designed for a younger dancer and the traditional fabric tutu was made for a senior dancer.

Airbrushed Classical Ballet Tutu

Love using the airbrush technique to bring a plain tulle base to life. This technique is not for the faint hearted and requires the confidence to be able to apply the colour to the net to achieve the desired effect, one mistake and you ruin a beautifully made tutu. I made this tutu for a sweet young ballerina.
