Modern Talking Videos- UTube and Two Little Ballet Dancers




Modern talking videos are on the rise. We enjoy them on You Tube and others as they continue to spring forth with wonderful creativity.

I came across a YouTube yesterday that really made my heart smile. It is of two little girls doing their first ballet performance. Apparently one of the little girls costume began to unravel. The two little girls adorned in pink tutu's and pink tights, oh so cute, had to contend with a long string that continued to unwind as they tried to stay in step with their performance.

I recently wrote and and posted a contrasting UTube called, "Utube, Youtube, Thank You for the Inspiration That Motivates Creativity In So Many" about a video of the Chinese Ballet Circus pas de deux troupe du Guangdong. It is a complete contrast to the YouTube I write about now.

By viewing both You Tubes It reminded me that 'everything' for 'every single person' has a 'beginning'.

See yourself in this little YouTube... just beginning and realizing flight, coming across obstacles but continuing on with the dance none the less.

I do and you do too. Soo be gentle with yourself as you learn new things, enjoy the process.

Once you do master something? Keep it in your heart and memory those baby step to get to where you are.

Be patient with those who ask questions of you who are trying to learn what you have already mastered.

Stay humble and be generous with your knowledge, it can only make for a better world.

We are so lucky to have available to us little reminders, modern talking videos that let us have a glimpse of two little girls in pink tutus who are just beginning to learn the dance of ballet and life.

Very dear this adventure of life.

Chinese Ballet Circus pas de deux troupe du Guangdong

~*~

The above title is of a Utube that someone sent to me today. It is just the most beautiful Video, I just had to share it with all of you.

We all need things around us to inspire, especially if you are an artist. I am prompted to create after getting a buzz from something touchingly beautiful like the Utube that I mention below. It is just stunning.

It is a ballet circus act from China. At first you see the dancers prepare...stretching. I thought later about that being included in the video and decided that it is a wonderful insert. It is a parallel to anything one does that is worthwhile. It reminds me that everything in life takes, if it is to be good and dare I say excellent, take preparation.


I just posted the Utube below on 3 of my Squidoo lenses.

"Chinese Ballet Circus pas de deux troupe du Guangdong"

Ohhh I love, love this video.

Someone sent it to me today and I just could not stop watching it. It is stunningly beautiful and inspiring.

You can find it at the bottom of the page on these lenses:

I just adore Squidoo. They are so fun with all their cute little messages.... I guess you would have to sign up to know what I am talking about. Even their passwords are cute, I am not kidding.

My art trading cards are progressing. I redid them. I decided to give them more punch. Art is like that... you grow in your seeing the more you do it.

Practice and talent blooms!


Aloha for now... check out my squids and please make a comment here and there.

I will of course continue to add my new art here of course and paint and sculpt new things continually.

ACEO: Art Cards, Editions and Originals. These collectable miniatures are 2.5x3.5. My little original or limited edition art works are lovingly painted with a mixed media which includes: Gouche, Berol colored pencil, water color pencils, acrylics, iridescent 3-D acrylics, glittering confetti 3-D paints and detailed in pen and ink to achieve the effect I am pleased with.
I post previews of my ACEO as well as post what is posted on Ebay. Collect whimsical angels and fairies in art, fantasy art of exotic women and masquerade circus images and feel the magic.
