Henna House call

It's really special when I get to adorn a mama for 3 pregnancies. Her two young daughters were bouncing all around me as I created the art to honor this pregnancy. The little one inside - girl or boy? who knows - was quite lively! I really love painting on an active canvas! It's magical to feel the baby inside moving.

This was a housecall, and the mama just sat with her feet up on her sofa while I adorned her. Shortly after I began, several friends and their children arrived to have a party to celebrate her upcoming birth and make guesses about the timing and gender of the newest member of their family. Her home was filled with joyful laughter, cupcakes and children running about. 

Afterwards I adorned a few guests with henna, and then photographed the pregnant mama in her backyard near her garden. Such a beautiful summer day!
