Felicia's fiery eyes and mischievous smile peek out from under her sun hat as she reaches out for you, asking you to dance. Take her hand and spin her around, watching her softly glowing body cast light in all directions with her movement. Torch-bent steel snakes out from the colorfully textured concrete of her skirt to create ruffled peaks and valleys, each accentuated with blazing red and orange mosaic glass. Her wide-brimmed sun hat holds a small solar panel connected to a series of internal LEDs which softly illuminate her glass bosom and abdomen at night. Everything about Felicia radiates joy, from her whirling dance and flowing dress to her wild, floppy hat kept at bay by her free hand and her feet kicked up joyfully behind her. Felicia is a fiery girl who will light up your life and dance her way straight into your heart.

Felicia is built on a spinning pulley that was originally used with some kind of machine belt. She's built with pieces of history from the age of reliable, American-made machinery.
