So- here’s a little story about what’s going on over here in Roving Horse Henna land. I’m trying to do a new thing. A thing that will change my life a bit. I’m back in school to become a pilot. That’s right, I’m learning to fly. I’ll still be a henna artist, I’ll still make art like this but I’m also looking at a second career flying planes for various kinds of operations. But here’s the thing. Flight school is really expensive. At age 52- I’m definitely a late starter, and I don’t have a 30 year pilot career ahead of me. Going deep into debt to pay for my training is not a good option. So- beyond my art generating revenue to keep itself going, and to keep me afloat in the lean henna months, it is also supporting my pilot journey. If I can sell all of these bottle lamps, that’s 1/3 of my instrument flight rating (that means I can fly safer and fly in clouds and zero visibility conditions).
Please know that any purchases of product, henna supplies, or gift certificates are greatly appreciated and will help me take to the skies. Thanks for listening to my pitch, and remember that supporting small business and independent artists helps with way more than you might imagine.
