*Fire*
I wanted to share details about one of the most inspiring design requests I received last spring! This project truly ignited my passion and allowed me to explore uncharted creative territory, resulting in something completely original.
Stacy reached out to me for a henna design and mentioned that fire had been a consistent theme for her throughout her pregnancy. She hoped I could incorporate this element into the design. This immediately sparked my creativity, prompting me to research and explore various ways to represent fire using only one color: natural henna.
As you can see in the attached photos, especially the one showing the progression of the art, henna has a single color, but its shade can vary from lighter to darker depending on the thickness of the application. Additionally, the henna paste naturally darkens as it dries, which adds another interesting dimension to the process. I am incredibly pleased with how the final design turned out!

FionaRose, an incredible photographer I had the pleasure of meeting years ago at a Women’s Gathering (Red Earth), came to capture some truly special moments.
Following the henna session, FionaRose took Stacy and her family out for a photoshoot, and the results are breathtaking. I'm especially happy with how she managed to capture not only the intricate beauty of the henna art but also the powerful grace of Stacy as a mother and the wonderful dynamic of her family. Her talent truly shines through in these images.

This is Stacy’s beautiful henna stain on her belly! She had previously told me how much she loves big baby bellies, and she even made a big plaster cast of her pregnant belly during her last pregnancy. Since this pregnancy would be at its fullest during the late spring and early summer, she wanted to get henna to celebrate and show off her beautiful belly. She shared that being pregnant is just about the most magical, amazing, miraculous thing humans can do.
When she returned for this photoshoot in my backyard, she mentioned how much she loved how the warm weather allowed her to have her belly out to admire. She shared that she had so much fun and felt wildly beautiful during the session. It was truly a joy to capture such a special moment for her.
