Mehendi

Hey I'm a mehendi artist.
Can I put up pics of some of my work here?

As long as they aren't pornographical, and are rated 'PG-13'. You can read the rules in the first thread on this forum.

this is what I am talking about

Nice.

thanks

wow that's cool 😄

This is the same one from above, except when the paste has been removed.

These are some of the others I have done a while ago.

wow 😐
thats cool 😄
a girl at our school used to have that every so often....i always wanted it...it looks so nice 🙂

I'm sure you'll get one done, someday, make sure and look out for them. The UK has a bunch, from what I hear.

Sorry I'm in Trinidad, the only person from here who can get a pattern from me is Tassie.
hear that Tas?!?!

she's lucky 🙂

well if she sees this thread then she'll bug me( well maybe) . Still have to find a day to meet her though.

That is so cool... how's it done??

You might be able to buy it in a store that sells wierd stuff.. it also goes by the name of Henna.. basically its a plant that gets crushed and mixed with water.. and it dyes your skin

And to add to that,

they use the dried leaves of the Henna plant. These leaves are ground to a fine powder and then mixed with water, lime juice and other oils.

After it is mixed, the paste is left to sit for at least 6 hrs, to allow the dye to be liberated from the paste. After which the paste is put into tubes/cone like the one below and then sealed at the larger end.

the tip of the cone is cut and the paste is squeezed onto the skin and a pattern is drawn out.

The paste needs to dry and then time is given for the dye from the paste to seep into the skin. This can take anywhere from 3-8 hrs. ONce the paste is removed, a colour ranging from orange to red-brown is left on the skin.
The pattern can take from 1-3 weeks to fade fully.

oo look even more

Alright these are the last set of pics before I bring on the bride mehendi designs.

That sounds like a lot of fun to do 😄

lol, but it takes time to do. When I have to do a bridal pattern, I usually take 2.5-3 hrs to finish it.
