I still intend to animate this plump little lady someday. A decade has gone by since I first thought of doing a parody of the "Sugarplumb Fairy" section of "Fantasia". I still think it is a good idea and could be quite amusing.

Two more tracing studies from photography. The one on the right is more successful, I think.
