zlib_text: ABOUT THE AUTHOR
  Brenda Abdoyan, a San Francisco-based child of the 1960s who considers
  everything to be art, is principal artist and designer at Bajidoo, Inc., a jewelry
  and design studio. Inspired by things from everyday life, she begins her
  creations with realism and then sprinkles them with the spice of life.
  Recently, she won top honors for the Designer Press Kit Award at a Craft and
  Hobby Association show.
  She holds a degree in business administration and project management from
  the University of Phoenix. After more than 20 years as a senior business
  analyst in corporate America, she left it all to pursue her passion. Henna art
  was the road that took her home. Her first YouTube video on henna tattoo
  design led to her work being included in the March 2009 cable channel series
  My Art by Ovation Television. From there, she has expanded her henna
  canvas to include leather, wood, and bangles. Follow her at
