Um. One very small thing-- the beading on that dress was reminiscent of rainbow obsidian because that’s actually what it was.
I’m really glad it was well-received. In a funny way I’m a little relieved there wasn’t a dance this time; it turns out a few thousand volcanic glass beads are pretty heavy.
Thank you for pointing that out, it has been corrected now.
With all these high tech materials & techniques around, it can be hard at times to tell when it is natural. And yes, the impracticality of it made me think it was a very good mimicry at first.
Once again congratulations on receiving the host prize!
