Me

Tobono symbol: from the Adinkra alphabet, stands for strength, confidence, persistence.

I love the simplicity and beauty of the Adinkra symbols. I even have a tattoo of one. My mom got me this necklace here.

Been wearing it constantly. Perfect.

Art in all forms

On a totally un-sewing-related note, I got another tattoo yesterday (only had one before) and I love it! Tattoos fascinate me as an art form. The guy who did mine was the same one who did my first one and he's VERY detail oriented and careful (and clean, for all the germ-phobes). I've been thinking about it for a while and chose to get "Aya" from the Adinkra alphabet as it symbolizes wisdom, resourcefullness, and strength in times of difficulty. It's a fern, and the means really is interpreted from the fact that ferns are capable of growing in even the darkest, dreariest conditions. I'm really happy with how it turned out. What do you think?
