On This Day in History: March 4, 1877 Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s ballet Swan Lake has its world premiere in Moscow, performed by the Bolshoi Ballet. It wasn’t an instant triumph, but it would become one of the most enduring works in the ballet canon.

Finished a series of collages I started earlier this year. When I felt hopeless, helpless, and choiceless, I sat down with hot glue, random scrap materials, candles and went to town. The full series is on my Cara page.

Yep, I remember it well.
