I just finished drawing with henna on my hand. The design is inspired by a shevitsa (traditional Bulgarian embroidery). The fingers contain a sunrise with grass,a cock and a sun. The other part is with floral motifs and the flower itself contains an Elbetitsa. IMG_20170903_174338.jpg
This is the desing I created, inspired by an actual embroidery. IMG_20170903_212519.jpg

Oh wow amazing design and stain!

Glad you like it. It is one of my favorite :)

Absolutely love the concept and originality of the design. Symbolism of the cock and sun as per the embroidery is wonderful to see.

Happy to share it :) it is a concept that I am developing for some time now :)

Very cool, Gabby!

Thanks, Brent!
