A Canvas of New Beginnings: Henna for the Soul

February 19, 2026

me painting on a belly

There is something profoundly meditative about the slow, deliberate flow of henna. In this latest session, I had the honor of working on a very special canvas—a beautiful baby bump.

As a henna artist, I find that "painting on a belly" is more than just an aesthetic choice; it is a celebration of life, growth, and the incredible journey of motherhood. The intricate, circular mandala design I’m working on here symbolizes harmony and the unfolding of a new chapter.

The Process: Using all-natural henna to ensure it’s safe for both mom and baby.

The Vibe: A calm, intimate setting where we can talk, laugh, and focus on the art.

The Result: A temporary but deeply meaningful mark that honors this fleeting, beautiful time.

Whether it's for a blessingway, a maternity shoot, or simply to feel adorned during pregnancy, creating these pieces is always a highlight of my work.

Knotted with Purpose: The Art of the Uterus

February 16, 2026

creating something new, can you guess what?

There is a unique kind of magic in taking a single thread and, through a series of intentional knots, shaping it into a symbol of strength and creation. In my latest project, I decided to explore a form that is both deeply personal and universally powerful: the uterus.

A Symbol of Life and Resilience
This delicate macramé piece is more than just a decorative ornament. To me, it represents the incredible power of the female body—the ability to hold, nurture, and bring forth life. By using a deep, earthy red thread, I wanted to evoke a sense of grounding and vitality.

The Craft: Every twist and turn of the cord is a tribute to the complexity of our inner workings.

The Design: Compact and intricate, it’s designed to be a wearable reminder of one's own creative potential.

The Mystery: Sometimes the most meaningful things come from simply "creating something new" and seeing where the thread leads.

Why This Matters
Whether you are a mother, a creator, or someone who simply honors the divine feminine, symbols like these serve as a bridge between our physical selves and our spiritual power. It’s a small piece of art with a very big heart.
