Description In my heart I know I can let go.
In the end I will find some peace inside.
New wings are growing tonight.

Is it a dream?
All the ones I have loved calling out my name.
The sun warms my face.
All the days of my life, I see them passing me by.
Within Temptation - The Swan Song

For *CrystallineEssence fairytale contest. Inspired by Swan lake fairytale.

And this is dedicated to *FrozenStarRo whose birthday is coming soon and as I am sure I won't be around for that time.. so better before than late.. Have a wonderful birthday, dear.

I think on my childhood I heard so many fairytales but there were some that really moved me more than others. One of those was the swan lake for the choice prince and swan princess made, and so I tried to create my own version of that slavian fairytale.

The story talks about young prince who is forced to find himself a bride but while hunting on the forest she sees a lake where lovely swans dance.. and he learns that they are princesses turned into swans by evil sorcerer. The only way to brake the spell is tell that someone loves the princess. Prince is ready to do that but the sorcerer interrupt and ofter he is deceived and almost forced to marry sorcerer's daughter, prince and swan princess drown themself to the lake to escape the evil of this world.

And ofcourse we all know the ballet based on that fairytale so that's why I chosen ballerina for this piece.

What I tried to portray is the purity of the princess heart, the way she and the prince chose the life in the lake.. the snow.. purity... this was my intention.. the purity of hearts.. purity of their love..

And I am just so glad to have new image for you.. Hope you like it..

Oh wow...you know i I was very VERY little when I was read the Swan Lake story. And I remember the illustrations of it and crying at the end because the version I was told was that they drowned in the lake but took the sorcerer down as well. And the remaining princesses never left the lake in fear the sorcerer would come back.

The snow is a beautiful and matching touch, to it...I didn't see it as whitepurity sort of cold beauty. In which its tragic to know her fate but its still mesmerising and what makes you love it.I'm a winter lover that's why.

Lovely work Kadri!!! I love the Swan Lake, my favorite ballet... I used to attend it every year and this practically made me cry .... nostalgic. I miss going to The Lake (the scenery was on a small isle on Chapultepec Park)...

That;s really pretty! It's lovely.

Just one minor thing from a dancer's perspective, you turn your heel more to the inside when pointing a foot; from that angle you'd barely see it. Other than that I can't fault this exquisite piece.

Kathy-Ophelia In reply to Kitri-du-Lac [2008-08-12 00:28:31 +0000 UTC]

thatΒ΄s because IΒ΄m no real ballerina, I do not have the body that a professionel ballerina needs. I was born with turned-in legs, which does not allow my legs to show the needed turn-out. ThatΒ΄s something I canΒ΄t change, no matter how hard I work on it.
HereΒ΄s the original: [link]

I had thought that was a drawing, I hadn't realised it was based off a photo or I wouldn't have dared make such a comment. I'm not an artist and I sometimes find it hard to tell.

I'm very sorry if I have offended you with my comment; it was only meant as a critique for the artist. I am not a 'real ballerina' either, I know what it's like to have faults that you can't fix.

Again I'm truely very sorry to have caused any offense.

No, you havenΒ΄t offended me. Just wanted to say because it looks like I donΒ΄t know better while in truth I do. ItΒ΄s only stupid body who refuses to work with me. *lol*

I frustrate my dancing teacher because I refuse to give up horse riding which strengthens the wrong muscles. I can't get the right turnout either Nor can I get my heels together in first because my calves are so big *lol*
