Morning tunes

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.

Hmmm. I always love the smell of henna and spices on the skin. Especially when it dries. It induces a lovely relaxing and calming effect on me.

glory delight

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.

Ribbon garters

I love dressing up and accessories. So I decided to get a pair of garters henna-ed on my legs. Ribbons and bows. At least it will last for about a week or so without the hassle of getting it on and off. *winks* I'll try to come up with more garter designs in the future.

the royal garden

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.
Hmmm, now all I need to do is wait for a few more hours for the paste to really dry up and I'll be off to my lovely dream land.

twin strands

















I always wanted henna designs on my legs. The bending posture is a little torturing but it all turns out well. Well, I am not as flexible as used to be. This is henna is done using home made henna paste. Flowery designs on both legs complementing each other.
Here
it goes.
