I've been through a lot, like you, I'll bet - and I've learned that you have to set your imagination free. Allow yourself to pretend, to let parts of yourself shine in the light that may have been unexplored, and remember your value not just as someone who serves the needs of your family or community, but also as someone who is amazing and juicy and crazy-fabulous all on your own. Costumes are one way to shimmer.

I want to be a catalyst, to awaken and sensitize people to the wonder that's all around them and inside of them every day.

I'm busy being me. Some things that I do include performing and teaching tribal fusion bellydance, being a mom, taking care of spoiled cats and gridding crystals. I love puttering in my woods (if the bear's not around) and working out almost every day.

If you'd like to see what inspires me, check out my tumblr blog here: http://amydanielson.tumblr.com/ and my personal designer/belly dancer blog here: http://www.thegypsykiss.com/amys-blog.html

Recently, my mother, Marsie Danielson, has been collaborating with me on some of the costuming items, specifically belts. Marsie is a renowned artist specializing in oil painting, who as a little girl wanted to be a fashion designer. Now you are all helping bring her dream to life.

One of my best buds, Jennifer Ramautar, and costuming inspirations, has been releasing a few pieces to also sell here at The Gypsy Kiss!!!

And my son, Gabe, has been pitching in with his own artistic talent with gnome and troll rings - more might be in store in the future!

Have fun shopping!
