Beaded Fringe

Showcasing beaded fringe for bellydancers: Enhance your bellydancing costume design with these hand-made works of art.

Perfect for cabaret bra and belt sets (“bedleh costumes”), decorating a hip belt or a beaded bra, these designer fringe trims make any dancer’s costume glorious.

Beaded appliques are also available, ready to enhance your costuming efforts, as are matching beads to do your own beading with the exact colour to match your bead fringe.

Make your belly dance and your hips shimmy with joy!

These stunning bead fringes are just as lovely used as a fashion fringe, to trim shirts or pants, or decorate slim skirts and tights. Dancing at the clubs will never be the same!
Or use them to trim lamps, and for other crafts.
They make a fabulous window decoration as well.

Whether your beaded fringe will be shining and sparkling in the sunlight, or dazzling and flashing in a belly dance performance, these beaded fringes will bring added magic to your dance and beauty to your life.

I've created this site to share with my sister dancers
- that's you! -

the Spirit of Bellydance:
sacred, empowering, beautiful, and fun

To me, bellydance is a celebration
of the Goddess in every woman.
From the circular motions
and the ringing of bells on fingers,
to the sensuality and joy of physical movement,
bellydance seems designed to honour
the Divine Feminine life-force.
The creative expression of our deepest souls
and coming to really be in our bodies
increases my belief in bellydance
as a sacred experience.
I hope this site will add to the magic.

On this site, you will find excerpts from my Bellydance Magazine, published from Denman Island, BC, Canada (a tiny Gulf Island on Canada's beautiful West Coast), including belly dance wordsearch puzzles; belly dance images; articles relating to belly dance, women, spirituality, and more; and zil (finger cymbal) tips and techniques.

I am pleased to also offer you what I call "Inspirations": poems and writings about dance, bellydance, women, and spirit that I hope will empower and inspire dancers. And tons of quotes, on such subjects as Art, Beauty, Bellydance, Canny Quotes, Creativity, Dance, Genius, Inspirational Quotes, Love, Music, Spirit, and Women.

And of course, bead fringes to trim your costumes beautifully.

So explore, and enjoy!

Before you go on, I'd like to share a reflection
of my feelings about Bellydance . . .

When a Woman Dances

When a woman Dances,
full of pride in herself,
her right to be there,
to be a woman,

To command our respectful attention,
moving her body for her own enjoyment,
revelling in her power & beauty & ability,

Dancing for all the womyn who love the dance,
and for those who cannot, for whatever reason, dance,

For those who yearn and crave to see womyn empowered,
standing up and showing their Shining Selves
for all the world to see . . .

When a womon thus dances,
she invokes the Sacred.

There is awe,
and wonder
and gratitude

in those who have been gifted
with her Dance

and the Goddess Herself
smiles, and cheers!
