I enjoyed helping with a dance themed slumber party for a 13th birthday.

Invitations

The birthday girl knew she wanted a star shaped handcrafted invitation that folded up. I designed a prototype and once approved, we worked together to make the invitations. It was a fun collaboration.

The birthday girl and I worked together on the cardboard cut-outs. I love how they turned out.

• Jazz positions silhouettes
