The Henna Body Art Book

A friend of mine found this book, The Henna Body Art Book, by Aileen Marron.  She's had for years, but never really looked at so she gave it to me.  It has so many great ideas in it and many helpful tips.  It explains origins and shows some step by step processes to do certain designs!  I can't wait to try some of the designs inside, like the bellybutton design and the runs.  There's a lot in here that I can't wait to read and test!  Thanks, Meri!!

My Pinterest Account

I've saved a lot of ideas I'd like to try on my Pinterest account.  I'm really liking the Steampunk ideas I've seen.  They're awesome!!  I am addicted to Pinterest!  I stay on there for hours at a time... When there are a million other things I should be doing instead.  Please, send me pins!

Dear Mother

My mom is an addict, but who could blame her?  I certainly don't mind!  She makes an excellent test subject for any idea I like and is completely honest as to whether I made a dumb decision or not.  My favorites are the finger designs.  They make me feel like I'm wearing rings all of the time and I find the color better than any gold or silver!

Hand in Hand!

I wish I hadn't taken this picture on my phone!  I'll have to take a similar picture the next time we both have henna.  I love this picture of my sister and me, but such bad quality makes me sad!!!

Giant Sugar Skull

This is probably one of the hardest and longest projects I've done.  The roses were the most difficult because I don't know that I've ever tried to even draw a rose with a pencil.  Hopefully, they'll be better net time with practice.  Any tips?  I've always found roses impossible to draw!

Henna vs. Mehndi

I always call henna, "henna," but when I started to see the word mehndi appear in my searches, I was a little confused...  I had to understand the difference between them! This lady was super helpful!
