I wanted to create a free-form knotwork design and had an idea about
using braided hair to weave instead of an abstract design. When I
finished the face and hair, I was reminded of the scripture about what
true beauty is....NOT in plaited hair, but from the inner-self, the
spirit. I think this image illustrates both kinds of beauty well.
Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided
hair, the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes. Instead, it should
be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet
spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight.
1 Peter 3:3-4
