Flying Trapeze

My friend Allison and I are taking on trapeze lessons for this year! We are really excited to be doing this together. I took trapeze and silk aerials for 8 years, then I took a break. Allison wanted to get back into it, so we decided to start a class together.




Even though I have not been on the trapeze bar, I feel pretty good about remembering things. I do not feel as strong as I was before, but I am getting back onto the "swing" of things - haha.


Here are some pictures I took of Allison as she was on the trapeze! Looking good!

Illustration Friday - Acrobat

I just had to draw for this week's Illustration Friday when I read that the word for this week is "acrobat." Well, I am not an acrobat, maybe, but I am an aerialist. I have studied trapeze and silks locally at Canopy! My drawing is inspired by my weekly classes. You can see some great photos from our Works in Progress show, as well as my video that Raoul took on this post.
