hi!...been so busy that i've not blogged in ages....
here are a few minimalistic designs i've been trying out....

the first three follow the indian/ pakistani style of pattern and the latter is my attempt at arab style henna painting....


















the arab style is actually a lot harder than i originally thought it would be ...as the designs and symbols used are bigger, bolder and not as intricate..they require a lot of pre-planning for the layout of the design....




another good tip for beginners is to use henna sticker transfers as a guide, choose a nice simple pattern and copy onto the skin, use glitter henna and bindi's for sparkly party look....



i have also tried out the two-tone effect as described in one of my earlier posts..u shud definitely try it out ..the effect is pretty cool..the only down side is that the design lasts max 2/3 days before fading, especially if the layers were built up over a period of days...
