Sifted Henna Powder

Sifted Henna

 

What Makes Henna Expensive

 What really makes henna top quality besides its stain ability is it's sift. Once sifted finely, your ability to use many types of applicators becomes almost endless. This becomes important too if you tend touse very fine lines in your Mehndi designs. Designs from India utilize very fine intricate lines often in wedding Henna Mehndi, leaving romantic messages and bride and groom images. Sudan designs however are bold and don't use as many thin fine lines as her neighbor India.

Right now as we speak I am working on a henna sifter design which will enable us to sift any brand of henna which may not be triple sift from India. We will offer it here and on our sister site Ink Sopt Henna soon. Keep sifting guys! Happy Mehndi!

Ramadan 2009 Mehandi Henna Designs

The Joy of Mehndi Henna Art this summer...

This summer has really been so much fun doing Mehndi in Washington, DC and Maryland. I had no idea so many women were into temporary tattoo body art.
the beautiful henna feet and hand designs along with small pretty shoulder and back Mehndi designs are very popular. I am sure because of our life style here in America, the more simple elegant designs work well.
I give thanks to all my happy customers and look forward to continuing my love of Henna Body Art and craft of Mehndi.

July 2009 Mehndi Designs

The last 3 days of July mark three special days in my heart. The 29th ; My engagement, The 30th Mom's birthday and The 31st my youngest son Aaron's birthday. July was a fun month for mehandi henna designs here in Washington D.C. I have meet some beautiful women who all had a true love or interest in henna mehndi designs and body art. Now we move into August and beginning of the blessed month of Ramadan and I look forward to doing more henna designs.

The curing of Rajistani Henna

I love the curing process of henna.The Design for this mahandi took almost three days to cure to it final deep red-brown color. This wa inspired by a design I had seen from Canada which I thought was a beautiful mehndi design.

Eastern Market Street Fair and' Henna/Mehndi

New Note 13

Eastern Market

The Saturday street fair celebrating the re-opening of Eastern Market was a pure joy for me. Now only did I do henna, but I meet
some very wonderful women, plus one gentleman who wound up being a spokesman for me while I worked.
Of course my most pleasant surprise was the discovery of the amount of people who were familiar with Henna Mehandi, Mehndi and its art and application.
I have had a few calls about the staining of the henna so I have decided to post some information here in about the 'curring process' of your henna design. Once the past has dried and removed you will see a bright orange color. This color will deepen to its full depth within 48 hours from the time of application and in a few cases it has taken 3 days. This is why I call it a 'Henna Experience' because it's like it has it's own surprise in store for you as you forget about it then look back to see it has darkened since the last time you looked!
So enjoy your Henna/Mehndi and the many days of wear.
