1,000 Faces of Mother Henna by Kara L.C. Jones
1,000 Faces of Mother Henna is a powerful project that Kara L.C. Jones has undertaken. These 1,000 pieces of art have been inspired by “Joseph Campbell’s Hero with a Thousand Faces and the Jizos for Peace art at Great Vow Monastery.”
Kara is also participating in the One World, One HeART GiveAway – you can find her giveaway here and you can see mine right here One World, One HeART GiveAway. I am going to show you some images … with links to these specific pages where you can see more. When several images link to the same page, I put a link only on the name of the first image.

Mother Henna by artist Kara L.C. Jones has been working on an incredible project of making 1,000 Faces of Mother Henna. I have wanted to write about her work for over a year … her handling of color in these vibrant, colorful paintings remind me of how I handle color too .. but then I always love others work too … and wish I could create like Kara!

This is one of the many variations where she talks the same basic structure and plays with color. I am sure many of my readers will recognize this method with my bubblescapes. It is amazing to me what the change of color does!

And this is yet another variation – I LOVE them!

If you read Kara’s blog on a regular basis, she will share many of the joys and struggles she has experienced and lived in her life. She makes many kinds of art, but these colorful images I find incredibly striking!

I have spent hours opening up different pages of Kara’s and choosing only a large handful of her images to show you … she is one fine woman and creates lovely art! Kara is also the one who sponsors Celebrate HeART I speak about in this post of mine.

the colors of these pictures are beautiful!!!!
Its crazy how much color can change the look and feel of a picture. Each one Kara varied gives you a different emotion and draws your eyes to something different. I didn’t even notice the henna on the arm until it was highlighted in green it just popped out first.
Just wanted to say thanks for the great post ! Found your blog on Google and I’m happy I did. I’ll be reading you on a regular basis ! Thanks again 🙂
Thanks,
Donna
