I have always loved henna, or Mehndi, designs that are used in India and a few other middle eastern countries. All of the designs shown here are done by me and on myself. I have mentioned the Mehndi culture in a previous post with a little more background on the use of henna. The first photo is of a fresh henna stain while the last photo is a fully darkened stain. The other two photos are during the drying process of the henna paste before it is removed to reveal the fresh stain. When I do the designs I am often using at a reference photo, I may not copy the design exactly but it at least will get me started on drawing the design and going from there in doing what I want to do in order to make the design more of my own.
