Artist/missionary Marcia Carole is working on a series of
watercolor and mehndi Christmas cards based on her travels in India and study of mehndi/henna designs. Above is the first one of the series,
The Nativity. She writes,
I am working on a series of watercolor and mehndi Christmas cards. I jumped right in with creating the nativity scene. Some of the piece developed around the flow of the watercolor. I used lots of flowering lotus blossoms representing the flowering of God's plan to recuse us through Jesus. I tried to also portray a cave, the barn of sorts, for the setting, and the unusual star assigned to mark the spot where the savior arrived.
The Nativity is beautiful and I can't wait to see the others in the series! Check out her
blog for future images and ordering info. You can also order 11x14 giclee prints of her other recent mehndi painting,
