Henna Art after ages!

I used to work as a semi-professional henna artist once! But now as it's been many years...I lost the creativity, my hands became shaky and I lost my patience too!

Can you believe this?

I sometimes feel very sorry that I lose this creativity over time; though I still do some doodling or random ink art. But I miss applying henna.

A few days ago I went to my hometown to attend one of my Husband's cousin sister's wedding. I got the chance to apply for henna after almost a year. You may know that henna is part of our culture. Not only on any special occasion but also we apply henna casually. So not applying henna for long may seem normal to you but I miss seeing beautiful patterns on my own hands.

But finally, I made it possible!

This is just after I removed the dried-out henna, the color was still fresh, they became darker over time. Unfortunately, this was not my own work. My aunt owns a women's beauty salon and one of her assistants applied henna over my hands.

Flowers from my mom's garden. I was feeling so beautiful, couldn't resist capturing my hands with the flowers!

Loved the patterns!

I forget to click photos after the color became darker. The color came out really beautiful and way darker than what you are seeing in these photos.

Share with me if you love applying henna? Can you do this on your own? Or you had not applied henna ever?
