After graduation we went our separate ways and then met up again a few years ago, here in California. She is now married with two beautiful children and owns "H. Palleiko Designs". She has shows all over LA and has become quite popular in the industry of lifecasting and contemporary wearable art!
This beautiful lifecasting is my back! I recently went to her home studio and she did her magic! Heather says, "The unique, one-of-a-kind piece is titled Oshun Ala, selected carefully to reflect the beauty and strength of the model. Oshun is an African goddess of love, beauty and diplomacy. She teaches people to overcome their difficulties through kindness and negotiation. Ala is the African goddess of the earth, the mother of all things. She is the deity of fertility and death. This means that she sparks creativity and life deep within us and shows us the way to leave old things behind to start anew; she gives us rebirth."
Oshun Ala is available for $1200.
