Relocation to Perth, Australia

Hello all,

Thank you for your support. We recently relocated to Perth, Australia and we are in the midst of settling in.

Will post more updates when I have a chance!

Taking a break!

Dear friends and henna fans,

Thank you for your continous support. This is a busy year and was unable to take up much jobs or much henna earlier. However, we are currently taking a short break and I will be moving again, but this time to Perth Australia.

I will still continue to update this blog periodically once the transition period is over. So do continue to follow and support us.

Thank you lovelies.

Love,
Shirley

A little quote

We will open the book. The pages are blank.

We are going to put the words on them ourselves.

The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is New Year's Day.

My rose

I know it's been 2 weeks since my last post, nope, I haven't lose my touch yet but just a little cooked up with my other activities.
I've been working on Ebay recently, finally I found out how to use it. So now, I get to clear up the air and space, result of years of shopping and not to mention impulse buying! A little late but oh well, better late than never. ;p
Oh, you can also visit my Ebay and see if any item for sale tinkle your interest. Let me know. I'll be delighted to assist!

My latest henna tattoo. My rose. Not the average henna design but this is more lifelike with shadings.


Oh this, I'm practising the speed to finnish a simple strip. I want to clock the time to finnish one design well below 4 mins. I'm working on it really hard.

EID Henna 2010 promotion!

However, group bookings are available for £30 and above and if I have to travel, transportation costs may apply.

Please email me for more information, special requests or to make any appointments.

Greetings

Dear all readers,

Greetings.

This blog was set up to nurture my increasing love for henna body art. I'm so excited about it which is why I am currently starting a blog to share my passion for mehendi/henna.

Another reason why I love henna? Because I fancy many different designs and I can’t make up my mind which one to choose from. With henna, I get to choose a different design each week!

Furthermore, it is definitely not as painful as their cousin method, the tattoo.

I believe everyone, young or old should have the opportunity to experience and benefit from this fascinating body art mehendi/henna which was previously reserved mainly for religious events, celebrations and major life events of many different cultures especially in the middle eastern, African and selected Asian countries. There is no reason why an 80 years old or a 5 years old should not to be given an opportunity to enjoy this fun and harmless little treat which is the main motive of Sapphire Designz to provide ‘Skin art for all’.

Add a little flavour to the girls' night out, your little girl's 10 years old birthday party or maybe for a special pre-dinner engagement. Whatever it is, adding this little treat into the agenda will definitely add spice to make it a truly exotic and unique experience. We are commited to make your little special event really special. Therefore, I would like to share my love for mehendi/henna and the work of art with everyone here and of course, I love to see all the happy smiles on faces of those who have benefited from my henna designs.

All my henna designs are entirely hand drawn.

• Arabic designs
• Contemporary designs
• Hindi designs
• Chinese designs
  
• Body art – bracelet, anklets, arm bands, back etc
• Designs as per requested

Generally, I would prefer motifs of plants/flowers. However, if you have any particular designs in your mind, please do inform me beforehand and I’m sure we can work something out just fine at a reasonable price.

Last but not least, do not hesitate to email or drop me a note in the message box if you require additional information, a quote or to make an appointment.

Thanks for dropping by Sapphire Designz!

P/S : Please feel free to visit the photo gallery for more henna designs. More photos to be uploaded later. I need some time to do so.

Cheers.
