Mehndi/Henna design I did for a friend's Birthday, at first, she wanted only a little bit then she got excited and the design grew.

I have done henna in the past. the REAL way. using glycerine and lemon to paint on your arm then take henna mix it with clove oil and eucalyptus oil and a little sweet almond oil and rosewater. use the smallest cake decorating cone 1 /16 th of an inch and have fun. best to be in the sun for a few hours.

do that stays on the skin or do you wash it of later ?
Jul 4th, 2011 Reply SubscriberFamz
It stains your skin for about a week but you have to keep the henna paste on for atleast 4 - 5 hours so that the colour would turn a nice shade of red :)

Wonderful attention to detail! I've always been interested in the art and symbolism behind Mehndi! yay!
Jul 2nd, 2011 ReplyFamz
Thanks so much! :) So you know a bit about it?
Jul 3rd, 2011 Reply junoondesigns.comHellOnAStick
I used to work in a tattoo shop, as an office boy, making transfers and talking to clients, handling money etc. Every so often someone would come in with Menhndi and want it to be tattooed on ...my employer would research the symbol and then refuse, because It was not just a shape or a 'pretty picture' but had significance beyond what the client was aware of. So I've always been appreciative of that fact, I am very much a fan or ancient arts that are surviving today. Who taught you this practice?
Jul 4th, 2011 ReplyFamz
ohh how cool, well the designs done usually (in our religion: Islam) does not have a significant meaning, though some Hindus use symbolism in there's, they use peacocks and I think include their God(s) in their designs. Sometimes people get confused with Hinduism and Islam, we both share a cultural practice which is the henna.
Jul 4th, 2011 Reply junoondesigns.comNo one taught me :) I used to do this before way back when they used toothpicks, I have no idea why they never thought of cones lol! I used to practice but wasn't that great only till last year I started trying to make it better, I also used to watch the ladies from India do it (they are really good at it and very fast). It helped a lot last year when I created my company Junoon Designs, all my influences was based on the henna and floral patterns from the East so henna became easier since I created my own style :) It's harder to copy than draw your own stuff.

Wow...thats pretty amazing. You've a fantastic mind...So few people are willing to put the effort in to learn new things.
hooray!
Jul 4th, 2011 ReplyFamz
:) I think everyone should learn new things, we have so much access to technology, it would be a shame not to take advantage of it! I love learning so maybe that's a plus for me
