You May Have Noticed…

I have been using a lot of skulls in my designs lately. Mostly because I am motivated this year by impermanence. Specifically, by a saying, I saw that really resonated with me.

Skulls are a reminder that in life…death is a fact, and the closer that we can relate to death and embrace it, the sooner we can start living with love and compassion. I used to think skulls were a symbol of fear and hate…and perhaps there are those who use them for nefarious reasons. However, in the world of Mala (if you will), skulls signify an acceptance of what is.

So…I started using more skulls!

There are a few different styles I am using right now, and I wanted to take a moment to describe each of them.
