Mehndi

after application, before scrapping off paste

Most of you may know, I learned the art of Mehndi (Henna) a couple of years back and love it! I have been trying to keep Mehndi on my left hand (too hard to do the right since I am right handed) to sort of put myself out there for people who may be interested in getting it done. I have had a couple people at work ask me about it so perhaps I might have some little side jobs soon (fingers crossed). Did you know that Mehndi is known in some parts to ward off the evil eye and protect the wearer? Contrary to popular belief it is not only done in India, Mehndi is done in parts of Africa, the Arab world (Middle East, Morocco, Egypt) and South Asia.

after the scrapping, it could get darker had I left it on longer
