Via Fiberarts Magazine:
"A floral mehndi pattern, derived from traditional blackwork embroidery, covers artist Andrea Vander Kooij from head to toe. In April, the artist sat for ten days embroidering the same pattern in cotton onto linen in shop windows throughout Montreal.Gorgeous - I was only saying to my (tattooed) sister the other day that if I ever got a tattoo I'd like a white one in a traditional lace pattern - barely visible - inspired mainly by my love of the work of Michael Brennand-Wood.
