Inspired by the rock garden architecture landscaping. When daylight slowly creeps away, giving way to darkness, the light from the lamp will then take over, giving a whole new perspective to the world. Bloomed flowers and flower buds shows the transition of present to the future.
This self made henna paste was made using Zubeda henna powder. It was recommended to me by my tutor for the consistency of its staining performance; i.e. it usually stains well. Noticed that I've bold the word 'usually'? Well, sometimes it's hard to predict whether the new box/packet of henna powder you just bought gives you good results. It's more of a gamble when you are buying something new. You'll never know till you try. Nevertheless, I've used 3 boxes of Zubeda henna powder and the stains seems to be quite consistent. It yields a more obvious brownish colour.
A fusion of contemporary and Arabic design. Focusing on bold flowers, complemented with leaves (with patterned fillers) running from the wrist across the palm to the tip of the index finger.
Simple designs with bold flowery patterns (depicting morning glories, I just have this thing for purple and pink morning glories) with complementing leaves and little ferns giving a finnishing touch to the designs.
A little treat for myself. Having quite a lot of leftover home made paste. I am now trying to use up some of it. Anyway, after knowing that I did fine in my first half of my postgraduate course today, I am in a very pleasant mood so I decided to reward myself by doing something that I like. Hennaing. Here's the end result. A combination of floral patterns running from the shoulder to the arm with a peacock in the middle of the pattern. In the royal palace, the peacock, the royal family's pet is basking under the sun surrounded by exotic plants and flowers. I hope you like it.
The simplest design in the collection todate.
A random little rose tattoo I've done while watching a movie earlier on the thigh.
