Japanese Inspiration

Based on traditional Japanese patterns.
An original design centered on Kanji, again inspired by Japanese art.

Festival Henna






I attended a lot of festivals last year and did an incredible amount of henna art! Above are some the pictures from various festivals. Winter is not a very good time of year for henna - people are understandably reluctant to bare parts of the body to the cold weather for long enough to dry the henna. But it will soon be spring and I am so excited! I can't wait to start doing tons of henna again!

Flowery Henna


More examples of my two favorite henna subjects, flowers and peacocks!
