Peytee's Dancer

Project by miles125 posted 153 days ago 389 views 0 times favorited 11 comments Add to Favorites Watch

Turns out the 4 dancers i had harnessed together in a previous project (Recession Inspired Dancers) couldn’t get along with each other. Their fighting and hurling of insults at each other demanded i seperate them. So i took the one with the best demeanor and made him a dancer for my grandaughter Peyton. He has his own little stage to perform on and seems much happier this way.

The base has a pivot point allowing it to be tapped behind the curtain which facilitates a rather animated little dance. I have a little 10 second video i’ll try to add in te comments as i can’t quite figure out how to add it yet.

Thanks for looking!

Wow! What memories this brings back. I remember my Grandfather carving dancers when I was a little guy. His were all hand carved, not sure of the wood species but probably whatever he could get his hands on.
Thanks for the memories!

Good to see your on top of that bad behavior Miles. It sounds like the chips could have been flying at any second.
