Tron & Lightcycle - Handmade Halloween Costume Video inclueded.

Good morning everyone I am sharing another Handmade Halloween costume and prop today. This was build/designed for my son Tristan. It was a huge hit this year and we were ever so thrilled. He was a program from Tron with a riding lightcycle. All lit up and ready to roll. Thanks to some help from my neighbors on the welding side of things.

Moon/ Lunar Fairy Costume - Handmade Halloween

Good afternoon everyone!

Halloween is always full of ghosts and goblins, but not in our house. This year we were Bessel with a Moon/Lunar Fairy. She was simply adorable in her handmade costume. My mother made her dress. She runs her own sewing business Living Sew Beautifully. The wings and the staff were illustrated by my daughter and I turned them into reality.

Enjoy!

The wings open...

 

And the wings close...

 

 Here are some closeups of the staff.

Thank you for viewing this post. I hope you have a wonderfully creative day!

Henna and Homecoming - A unique expresssion

Good morning everyone. Recently I had the opportunity to make three lovely high schoolers very happy. I was able to create the Henna designs for their homecoming dance. The designs included Gemstones, Gilding and Henna.

This first young lady has a really unique design. All she requested was in infinity sign be somewhere in the design on her back. This is what she got...

 This is Light Pink Gilding and Light Pink Gemstones with Henna.

These next two were on the same young lady. However the lighting is off in the image of her back due to the room she was in. And I didn't have my good camera. Red Gilding and Black Gemstones with Henna

Hope you all have a fantastic day!

Henna Baby Belly Blessings - Shower Nichole with love

I had the pleasure this past weekend of being a part of a celebration of a life, one that will soon be introduced into this world. Nichole, is in her eighth month of pregnancy, the best time to have a Henna Belly Blessing applied. We had a consultation a few weeks before and we discussed designed for her belly and also her guests. The designs were created to coordinate so the designs her guests would choose would coordinate with her belly blessing for the photo ops.

 Nichole chose an off centered C shape which we flip flopped the day due to the position of her bundle of joy's feet (kicking on her right side). This way it made it easier to continue to apply the henna in a timely manner. 

 

 We began the belly just before the guests started to arrive and as they came in they all stopped to watch her receive her belly blessing. Then they all took turns sitting down with me for their designs (they will be posted soon and linked back to here).

 She had such a loving and supportive group of women with her that day. Can't you just see the love?

 Henna Baby Blessings have been around for thousands of years in India and the middle east. In today's tradition it has transformed into ornamenting the belly not just the hands. It is a stunning way to embrace the changes a woman's body makes when creating a life inside.

 

May the birth of you child be swift and easy and my it be healthy and strong. Blessings to you, Nichole, and your family too. Thank you for allowing me to be part of your celebration!
