Originally I had designed a stocking with cotton fabrics and buttons. It was going to be red and white with some cute prints that would be on the heel. When I told her about making a new stocking she said she wanted it sparkly. That led me in a different direction. Forget the practical buttons and cute cotton prints. Sparkly sequins and beads right? What else. So instead of big, large buttons I sewed tiny beads on white sequins. Together that created a sparkly, glittery snowfield. That's what it depicts to me. A snowfield under a full moon with a princess twirling on the frozen pond next to it. Stitching together each bead and sequin to create the whole dream. Twirling and twirling.
