Henna Design

My latest henna designs. Sorry the pictures are not in order. Shown is my hand with the henna paste still on, then wrapped up by Craig so I could sleep with it on. Then the pics with the paste removed *after* about a day. When the paste was first removed the designs were more orange. They also darkened further. This was my first time using eyeliner to work out my design before applying the henna.

I decided to go with a fish theme this time >}}}}}> The blue color that can be seen a bit is from the transfer paper. I transfered some of the major design elements and then did the rest freehand. I like the koi on my palm but im not too thrilled with the waves by its tail. Ah well, live and learn. After i finished my design and it dried i sprayed it with lemon juice and sugar that i mixed and added to a spray bottle. Then Craig wrapped up my hand. Im really happy how it came out =) Ill probably glue some gems on the eyes of the fish on the back of my hand.





Craig did a great job of taping up my hand to keep the henna paste on while i slept. I also put a large sock over my hand to keep it warm. Heat helps the stain, or so ive read.





This was taken this morning after about 9 hours of having the henna paste on, its already gotten darker and will continue to darken over the next two days.
