Bridal , Animal , Chakra and various other mehendi design.

It's long since i updated my Henna Art passion Blog. But what can i do i was busy holidaying and now when i have gotten time so thought to update it.

In this post i am going to update all those bridal and other work that I did in last couple of months and will give description regarding that work...so enjoy and don't forget to leave your appreciating words.


The bridal work given below i did for Vet ( animal doctor). The day she came to meet me she had only two requests
(1) She needs animals and birds in her bridal henna ,
(2) She needs sufficient space around those animals so it give emphasis to those animal design and plus i have to draw custom design for her.




In this part of designs you can see in Left hand (horse, peacocks) and in Right hand ( Elephant, fish and peacock) By the way she was thrilled with elephant and most importantly with fish....i can still remember her joy and excitement seeing that fish...on her hand.






In this part of design one can see elephant and peacock.





And here i drew swan and peacock.  It was really fun drawing all these animals and most rewarding was that brides happiness.







This henna is done using Instant henna paste. When this bride contacted me she was very clear that she don't want to use normal original mehandi instead she wanted to go for those artificial instant henna. I was bit confuse and scared too as i have never used anything like that so was not aware of its consistency and effect. She herself was mehendi artist and makeup artist so wanted only one hand to be done.

When i saw the henna tubes i realised it has little watery consistency and needed more care as here you cannot make mistake because the paste gives instant colour so you cannot erase and redo it.

Though i did not like too much chemical on hands but it was brides choice so could not argue because i felt it was deep brown or mahogany  hair dye that could be harmful to our health.
And same time difficult to handle also.




Using same instant henna i did this simple design on Bride's cousin's feet.





This is very simple design done on my friend's daughter's hands.

















This beautiful design done on my sis in law's hands who was too much excited to attend our cousin's wedding and being only Daughter in law she has to deck up fully....even though i was not feeling well i assured her that i will not disappoint her. and She was ecstatic  seeing her beautifully adorned hands.












This special Henna done to one of my client for her baby shower...






And this one for my dearest friend who celebrated her 25th wedding anniversary.......
