My personal artistic hero… Harry Clarke (1889 - 1931) was an Irish illustrator and stained-glass artist and key figure in the Arts & Craft movement.
He illustrated works for Edgar Allan Poe - my favourite being ‘Tales of Mystery & Imagination.’ Dover Publishing re-printed it beautifully as a hardback edition - here’s the link to it on amazon - For way less than £30 it’s one of the prettiest books you can buy
Get THIS BOOK if you want to see all his stained glass work - before it gets too hard to track down. It also lists where you can see the existing works (mostly in Dublin) and has a very thorough bio on Clarke
this is cultural appropriation and all the uglies going on anon and saying this isn’t cultural appropriation, stay dumb and obnoxious as fuck because I know for a fact ya’ll worthless ass anons don’t know anything.
Sorry to inform you, but the use of henna is not cultural appropriation. I am middle eastern and my family, Christian, Muslim, everyone, occasionally decorate themselves with henna for specifically decorative purposes. The Origin of henna thousands of years ago was to cool the skin, and once people realized it left a mark, they started using it to leave decorative patterns on themselves. It was also a substitute for women who couldn’t afford jewelry and also grew so popular that it began being used for events like weddings or birthdays. It spread throughout the Middle East, India, and even some parts of North Africa. It has absolutely no religious meaning (in Christianity or Islam at least, I’m not sure about the Hindu faith but I do know henna decoration was around for different reasons before that). I as a middle eastern who loves henna decorating, am not at all offended by other cultures experimenting with it and neither is my family. Most of the claims of cultural appropriation are outrageous and kind of annoying. If it’s something that is deeply rooted in a faith then, I can kind of understand, or if someone is mocking or talking down to the culture they are appropriating, that too, but henna has been shared all across the world and all the people I’ve seen who give others henna tattoos are happy to do so. Like seriously, you won’t believe all the middle eastern/ Indian woman I’ve seen who were more than happy to give henna tattoos to people not of that culture. Anyways, not trying to sound sassy or annoying but I just wanted to kindly inform you on henna and to never convict someone of cultural appropriation unless you have facts and a solid reason too. Hope this helps.
^YALL NEED TO READ THIS!!!!!
I had an Indian friend in college who loved to give henna tattoos, she had even learned how to do phrases in elvish from LOTR.
I agree with the poster talking about the history of henna, but I also want to add that this picture is completely void of context…I’ve had henna done on me twice, once by one of my friend’s younger cousins (who was super eager to show off her mad skillz to the guest) when I visited her family in India, and then again a few years later as part of the festivities leading up to a (Sikh) wedding that I was a bridesmaid in. The person attacking the girl in the photo has no idea under what circumstances the henna was given.

Fun fact. In the US it requires more training to legally become a hair stylist than a police officer. In some states requiring more than DOUBLE the minimum hours of training for hairstylists than those required of law enforcers.

Finally opened an Etsy store to sell my jewellery!
Modern witches who keep their potions in empty water bottles and tupperware with their purpose scrawled on them in sharpie. Witches who buy cute little bottles from Hobby Lobby and Michael’s so that their potion cabinet will look cute. Witches who’s spell books are messy, thoughtless, scribbled in notebooks with like five different pen colors on one page bc they kept losing their pen, ironically while writing a pen finding spell. Witches who brew potions in hello kitty tea kettles and pikachu pots. Witches who have spells in the notes folder of their phone, and who enchant their phones and wallets so they won’t lose them. Just give me all the cute, modern witches. Give me all of them.
