Polar Spring 2017 was Clarafied

I had so much fun doing henna this weekend and getting so see all my artist friends. It is so wonderful and surreal to spend three days drawing and laughing. I can't wait to do it again next year!

Freestyle Palm Design

Last night because I had no pressing homework (for once!) I created a palm henna for +Lisa Seltzer (aka Mom).  This is how the stain looked the dreary, wet morning after.  

Clara's latest creation

Mom got Clarafied

Mom asked for pretty feet as a Mother's Day gift. We found this beautiful design in designs by Maple Mehndi.

Intern Artist

Clarabelle has been drawing, drawing, drawing.  She's been coming along to some booth events as the "intern artist", giving a discount on her designs.  We're doing it that way to encourage a smooth transition for Clara as artist in the booth, and to help all our customers be brave enough to let a little girl draw on them, and in the end be amazed at her ability--everyone's very happy!

Here's the design the intern artist put on me at the start of our (very chilly) event last night to show off her skillz, and Clara at work.  We wrapped her in the saree I usually decorate my booth with, it was just that cold!

Some friends and clients have let Clara and I do their feet together, we enjoy doing that.  They all turned out pretty well!

And it's a smashing success! (Her mom did one of these designs, and she did the other.)
