What started as a little scribble for a tattoo in honour of my Grandmother; formed from love and sentimentality of the sun, the moon, stars, the ocean, Sunflowers , a belief in yin & yang (and attempting to live as strong & positive as all of these things…) ended up being hand drawn by a fine artist (Rebecca from Graphic Design) as a business logo, has now collided with top notch fabrics.

Sowilo: The Sun. This Viking Rune represents success, goals achieved, honour, the life force, health, or a time when power will be available to you for positive changes in your life, victory, health, and success. Contact between the higher and the unconscious. It symbolises wholeness, power, elemental force, the sword of flame, and cleansing fire. It is the rune of the sun. Sowilo represents the force of fire in the physical and mental world. It promotes invigoration, dedication, optimism and persistence in any endeavour. It will ward against the harmful opinions of others to keep the heart focused on its purpose.
The Yin-Yang: In Eastern thought the two complementary forces that make up all aspects and phenomena of life. Briefly put, the meaning of yin and yang is that the universe is governed by a cosmic duality, sets of two opposing and complementing principles or cosmic energies that can be observed in nature.
Yin is characterized as an inward energy. It is a symbol of earth, feminine energy, darkness, negativity, passivity, and absorption. It is present in even numbers, in valleys and streams, and is represented by the tiger, the colour orange, and a broken line.
Yang is characterized as outward energy. It is conceived of as heaven, masculine energy, light, activity, heat, positivity and pe*******on. It is present in odd numbers, in mountains, and is represented by the dragon, the colour azure, and an unbroken line. The two are both said to proceed from the Great Ultimate (taiji), their interplay on one another (as one increases the other decreases) being a description of the actual process of the universe and all that is in it. In harmony, the two are depicted as the light and dark halves of a circle.
Sunflower: The English name for the Sunflower is quite literal and taken from its bright sun-like appearance. Its scientific name, Helianthus, is just as literal because it combines the two Greek words for sun and flower. The sunflower has developed unique meanings across the world as it spreads in the modern age, but many cultures share similar views of the flower thanks to its physical characteristics. Some of the most common meanings include:
- Long life, mainly since most varieties stand in full bloom for months on end during the hottest days of summer
- Feelings of adoration, admiration, and platonic love towards a person, such as a family member or friend
- Loyalty and strong bonds between two people, as represented by the strong and upright stem
- Seeking out positivity and strength, as the bloom turns to face the sun
- Nourishing yourself and others, since the sunflower produces an abundance of edible seeds
- Brightening your mood, through the vibrancy of the yellow or orange petals
- Good luck and lasting happiness
