	There is nothing like making your own ice cream, but the problem is, it just takes too long to freeze and some things just don't like to freeze. A while ago (1993?)

"In all this heat I thought you could do with a little refreshing"

	The art of henna application has been practiced for centuries in the East. Henna artists today, hope to pass along a little of the tradition and history as well as the culture that Mehndi application represents. Today this art has become trendy due to celebrities displaying it on television (Madonna, Gwen Stephanie, and Mira Sorvino, among others) and in print advertising. However, it's important to realize that the application of henna to the body is not only to promote body beautification, but also to experience it's symbolism, it's spiritual implications and it's medicinal properties. "I wonder if doing this artwork on aging skin, might produce master-pieces?"

	For the most part, (aside from private collections), the historical textiles that have survived into our times are in the care of Museums. 'Textiles Through Time' serves as a link between generations and cultures of past and present times, to inspire and intrigue those who come with the textile treasures of those who came before us. Though your hands many never know the touch of these pieces, may your head, heart and hands combine with the spirit of these textiles, and take shape when you create some treasure of your own. Below are some of my treasured links to textiles sites......Enjoy! Marsha White "Marsha says it all."
