We call this: Art with Purpose.
Between quiet hands and steady thread, A silent story begins to spread. Each loop and twist, each careful row, A shawl is born in gentle flow. Not just yarn, but time entwined, With patient heart and peaceful mind. The needles dance, a soft ballet, Spinning comfort from light and clay. Colors chosen not just by sight, But by whispers of soul and dreams at night. Textures rich with memory’s grace, Echoing ancestors’ warm embrace. A gift of fingers, not of machines, Of woven hopes and quiet scenes. A warmth not found on factory shelves— But from the touch of loving selves. It drapes not just on shoulder or skin, But wraps the spirit gently within. Like mountain winds or grandmother’s prayer, It’s stitched with care, with love laid bare. So wear it proud, this handmade art, A shawl that holds a beating heart. Not just to shield from winter’s cold, But to carry stories, brave and bold.
"In the hush of dawn, with fingers wise, A shawl is born beneath Himalayan skies. Not just wool, but ancient thread, Where sacred stones and soul are wed. Each stitch whispers a mountain prayer, Infused with crystal’s healing care. Tibetan gems, with light aglow, Are sewn in silence, soft and slow. From the Roof of the World they call, Crystals that balance, rise, and fall. Amethyst dreams and quartz that sings, Bound in the shawl with angel wings. Not just fabric—this is flame, A cloak of power, peace, and name. Each thread a path, each gem a guide, To calm the storms we hold inside. It wraps you in more than earthly grace— It’s harmony time cannot erase. With every fold, the soul finds rest, A sacred shield upon your chest. So wear it not as cloth alone, But a map of light, of flesh and stone. Heal. Harmonize. Let spirit flow— With every thread, let courage grow."

Dharma Ninja was bEarthed into being by a freelance volunteer going to Nepal after the big 2015 Earthquake. Tangelina worked with a variety of organizations to bring services to those in affected areas. While there she discovered a wealth of art and skill. Enamored with how life not only found a way in a time of crisis and chaos but also showed such beauty and promise she started promoting the artisans. Now in Bali Tangelina is continuing the legacy of Dharma Ninja by working with local master artists and bringing a larger audience to those isolated artisans. Being able to convert their art into NFTs is a novel opportunity for these often rural artists and brings them even greater wealth for their craft.
The Balinese wood carvings “Tell a story of Balinese Hindu Mythology”.

The Thangkas need a different caption all together…. “The Thangka invokes powerful virtues that rest quietly within.”
