New Moon in Leo says "ROAR - Let your inner Wild Woman out to play"!

This month's Leo artists are Hanni and Koshka of "Vaisto" from Helsinki Finland. I love their work and their spirit expressed in a distinctly Leonine way...grrrrr!

Vaisto

We're two Leo ladies with a passion for beauty. We want to give every woman the gift of feeling strong, sensual and beautiful - to feel that little warm purr inside that makes her move with dignity, like a feline.

When we work, we really work hard to hunt down the sweetest zebra, and when we rest it's all about occasionally twitching an ear to fend off the flies.

Our creative process comes in a burst of brilliant bi-polar energy and results in a fat stack of sketch papers, later to be sorted and polished sharp and shiny before the actual production takes place.

It's like this: color, shape, lines, tones...our little visual carnivore hearts start beating faster.

Add texture, weight, drape...we're together running for the prey, tiring it down.

And then detail, fitting, final snips...it's there and we're feasting, dancing around the room wearing it, making poses, laughing, taking photos.
