The Little Fourteen-Year-Old Dancer (French: La Petite Danseuse de Quatorze Ans) is a sculpture begun c. 1880 by Edgar Degas of a young student of the Paris Opera Ballet dance school, a Belgian named Marie van Goethem.

The sculpture is two-thirds life size[2] and was originally sculpted in wax, an unusual choice of medium for the time.[3] The sculpture exhibited in 1881 was dressed in a real bodice, tutu and ballet slippers and a wig of human hair. All but the hair, ribbon, and tutu were coated in wax.

There are at least 28 bronze casts of this sculpture that appear in museums and galleries around the world today. After Degas' death his family commissioned the founding company Hébrard to make these replicas.[4] The tutus worn by the bronzes vary from museum to museum.[5]

sashiko stitching

Sashiko (刺し子?, literally “little stabs”) is a form of decorative reinforcement stitching (or functional embroidery) from Japan. Traditional sashiko was used to reinforce points of wear, or to repair worn places or tears with patches. Today this running stitch technique is often used for purely decorative purposes in quilting and embroidery. The white cotton thread on the traditional indigo blue cloth gives sashiko its distinctive appearance, though decorative items sometimes use red thread.
