Girly Birthday Henna Party

Girly Birthday Henna Party

Today I got to meet a lot of great girls for a cute, girly birthday party here in Ann Arbor. They had a yoga instructor to work with all the girls, personalized yoga mat party favors, a slip and slide, pastel-colored cupcakes and me! (doing henna for all the girls) It was a blast. <3 Here are just two quick pictures I snapped while I did at the henna party .

Jamie Bourgeois – Textile Artist

Jamie Bourgeois – Textile Artist

My friend Jamie Bourgeois is a huge inspiration to me. She is a very thoughtful textile artist with a message on how humans interact with their environment. ivermectin rat dosage

(psst! I want this dress so badly!.. she needs to make many more of these..)

Having graduated from Savannah College of Art and Design, she recently completed a series named Homogeneous :

“A series of screen printed silk scarves which explore the classification of non-human organisms in order to see more clearly into how we can perceive ourselves as humans, as entities with the same basic needs and fundamental desires as all living beings.”

EXTINCT

jamie bourgeois, scarves, homogeneous

99% of all living species that have ever lived on this planet are now extinct.”

PARASITE

jamie bourgeois, scarves, homogeneous

“Parasites live on or in a host organism at the expense of the host, benefiting only itself.”

INVASIVE

jamie bourgeois, scarves, homogeneous

“Invasive species invade foreign ecosystems, deplete resources, and crowd out other species.”

 All I can say is : incredibly inspiring, thought provoking with detail to make your head spin!  I can’t wait to see what Jamie has in store for us in the future.

All Girls Prom

All Girls Prom

My henna tattoo art was part of a New York Times Article – > The All Girls Prom  picture 3 on the slideshow.  I was really proud to be apart of such a great event – an all girls prom in Hamtramck, Michigan so girls who cannot “party with boys” as they said to me, could have a prom. The girls had a great time and I really enjoyed doing henna for them. I hope they make it an annual affair.
