Not sure when I became so fascinated with jellyfishes, but it's been fun. Here are pictures I took of them at an aquarium and then my henna jellyfish. Sometimes I think not have a brain wouldn't be so bad after all --- it would definitely prevent me from over-thinking everything. :)<br />

This last jellyfish picture I created using REAL henna! It's available in other background colors as well. So feel free to visit my etsy shop and send me a message with the background color you'd like! Here is the link to see more pictures of the painting: <br />

Often, I feel like I'm going through the motions but not enjoying anything. So with the intention to add spice to my life, I did 5 henna projects last night ----- I have been so crazy busy at work that I haven't been able to do any henna art. Getting some henna in my hands was so awesome. Just relieved all of my work stress!!!<br />
<br />
Here's a sneak peak of what I worked on:<br />

and be completely clear-hearted,<br />
like the face of a mirror <br />
that contains no images.<br />
<br />
If you want a clear mirror, <br />
behold yourself and <br />
see the shameless truth, <br />
which the mirror reflects.<br />
<br />
If metal can be polished<br />
to a mirror-like finish,<br />
what polishing might the mirror <br />
of the heart require?<br />
<br />
Between the mirror and the heart<br />
is this single difference: the heart<br />
conceals secrets, while the mirror does not.<br />
----- Rumi ----<br />
<br />
I love Rumi! So much to think about....

The book documents 20+ years of work of Dr. Paul Farmer in Haiti. Dr. Farmer is the founder of Partners In Health. <br />
<br />
It is a worthy cause that needs our support. Here is a link to a slide show showing the work that is being done and the faces of helplessness: <br />

<br />
If you can do anything in this moment, it is to give of what you have. The saying I love to remind myself as well as you is to give from with your right-hand, meanwhile your left-hand has no idea how much and what you gave. This, to me is the true spirit of giving! May you get back double, or triple what you gave. <br />

I'm all about swirls. To me, they give the feeling of limitless dimensions. They flow in any given direction. Don't you wish you could do that in life as well. <br />

It's composed of a set of 9 canvases. Each canvas is 8 x 10 inches. Each canvas has a different mandala design. All work was freehand. I didn't use any stencils to make the design. So you can imagine how hard it was to draw a circle. <br />
<br />
Unfortunately, the photo isn't great. Tell me what you think:<br />

The earth, the moon, the sun, the planet all seems amazing and yet simple too. So much can go wrong and yet each exists in harmony with each other. Don't you wish we, as a species, could live in similar harmony. Often, we make things too complicated, which further distances us from each other. I'd loved to be as simple as dust. To go wherever the wind takes me. <br />
<br />
I came across a poem that I had to share with you all. Sadly, I don't know who the author is.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">If my essence is from dust,<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">then dust (wherever it is) is my homeland<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">And every creature upon the heavens and the<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">earth represents a close relative. <br />
</div><br />
<br />
<br />
What does this poem mean to you? I look forward to reading your comments.

For a long time I haven't dreamt anything. I would barely go to sleep and the alarm would suddenly wake me up. These days, I sleep very little. But what I've found is that I'm so refreshed in the morning. I look forward to waking up and seeing the surprise next to my bed. Today, I discovered this candle! <br />

Each canvas was 10x10in. I matched the background colors based on the color layout of my friend's room. This project took me about a month to complete. Each frame has a different henna design.
