I hope everybody celebrating has had a wonderful #Ramadan period, and enjoyed #EidUlFitr with loved ones. For the first time ever, I decided to open up #EidJagua appointments at my studio, forgoing my usual consultation process. And I'm so. so glad I did. SWIPE>>> To see the 24 hour and then the 2nd day (50 hours) #jaguastain development. This work features my 10% xanthan gum recipe (so that's 1g of xanthan gum to 10g of raw jagua powder - I eyeballed the syrup and water ratio - sorry, I don't have a recipe for you yet), but it is a dream to work with. In my humble opinion I think the time has come for jagua artists to take control of their pastes and mix their own recipes - much like we already do with our henna paste, to REALLY be able to enjoy the different but equally magical qualities of #JaguaBodyArt - REMEMBER, @jaguaink is supplied and produced by The Darien Initiative who provide opportunities for the local Indian tribes in the Darien Gap through Community base efforts. By creating opportunities they help the community keep tribal traditions alive and be able to pass them down to generations to come. By supporting @jaguaink, you are supporting an indigenous community and empowering them to support themselves. . #conscientiouschoices #conscientiousartist #communitysupport #jaguabradford #bradfordjagua #handmixedjagua #createdbyconnie #ghibliinspired #wristtattoo #freehandbodyart #temporarybodyart #temporarytattoo #bradfordartist (at Created By Connie) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByWH5zVh7_z/?igshid=iu5s17efne1r
