..trying to understand and relate to....

..the Berber (Feija) henna designs that I've been studying.

These textiles really intrigue me....

...and I feel that I want to know and understand more about them.....

..and the women who created them.

I find that working in a sketchbook allows me to "get inside" the subject a bit more....






















..no rushing it....

...just sitting quietly with drawing/painting materials....

...and "feeling" what happens...
