We went to an Indian festival by the Torrens river last weekend - lots of yummy food, interesting performances and most important of all (for me-hehe) Henna! I had to wait for a while to get the design done on my hand but it was worth it. The woman did a beautiful job! Its so peaceful when you get henna on your hand because of the aromatic smells and you kind of focus on how the artist is drawing it on your hand and forget about everything else. This inspired me to research what actually goes into the henna paste.. and believe it or not, you can put just lemon juice.. or a whole lot of stuff like, coke, sweets.. etc.. you name it! Interesting...

So here's a couple of pics of it:

Before: (the paste was all dried but still stuck on my hand)


After: (the next day)



I have also heard from an art gallery who is interested to have me exhibit at their gallery for SALA (south australia living artist) festival! So I'm pretty stoked! It will be a joint exhibition of all women (apparently.. but i guess it could change.) exhibiting works in different mediums.
I'm going to meet the gallery owner this Saturday,  and check out the space there. Its in Bowden, which is an up and coming suburb, especially thriving on art and culture. 
Lots of artists have studios there which is good news  :) Funnily enough, one of the houses
Phil and I considered purchasing was in Bowden!
