Thanks! I use floristry wrap/cellophane and make cones, fill them up, seal the top, cut a little bit of the bottom where the tip is and then mehndi away! Its really time consuming and messy just making and filling the cones!

I learnt from some brilliant websites and used books for pattern ideas and started doing mehndi this june and seeing as no one was very willing to lend me their skin I had to just use paper!

Heheh i can see the influence of my pattern books in your strip design

Excellent work! Keep it up!

It is beautiful! I did ONE hand, seriously ONE hand one night and it took me 8 hours because I was making it up as I went along... turns out I guess I had bad henna b/c it came off in like 3 days... =(

Thanks! There are some amazing websites that explain how to do everything. I discovered www.hennapage.com - its my HG for mehndi! Its taught me everything I know, right from the science of mehndi right to pretty patterns - Its a wealth of information! Couple of months I discovered www.hennatribe.com - which is also really informative. Check them out!
