Mehndi-Henna-Design Nr. 20

nobody@flickr.com (olga_rashida) — Sun, 20 Mar 2011 10:25:14 -0700

Dies ist keine von Grund auf neue Mehndi-Design Kreation, denn ich verwendete als Basis ein älteres Motiv, das ich 2009 erdachte. Ich begann mit dieser Serie nach meinem Aufentalt im Jemen 2006.

Da ich die Erfahrung gemacht habe, dass viele meiner Kunden sich ein Einzelmotiv wünschen, werde ich ab jetzt keine Einzelblätter mehr machen, sondern das jeweilige Motiv in drei Variationen ausführen: Einzelmotiv, komplettes Design für Hand und Fuß, und ein gespiegeltes Bild damit es leichter ist, beide Hände zu bemalen.

This is not really a new henna-mehndi design, becaused it is based on a design I created 2009. I began this series of khidab paintings after my stay in Yemen in 2006.

Since I have noticed over time that many people prefer a small individual design, I am going to include three variations of a design in each PDF instead of just one page: the individual design element, the full design on hand and feet, and a mirror image to make it easier to draw on both hands.

You can buy/download this pattern as a single PDF copy at www.henna-und-mehr.de/de/bestell5.html (German) or www.henna-und-mehr.de/franz/bestell5.html (French)
When I have designed 20 patterns of it, I will sell them all together as a book.

Mehndi for two hands

nobody@flickr.com (olga_rashida) — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 14:52:53 -0700

olga_rashida posted a photo:

just finished this mehndi for a chanteuse who will perform a videoclip with it.

Henna or mehndi is not a tattoo which is made with a needle to bring the color pigments beneath the upper layer of the skin and therefore painful and permanent.

To draw such fine lines the finely grounded laeves of the henna shrub is in a first step well sifted, than mixed with warm water. After several hours of let sit the paste the strained paste is filled in a cone or syringue to lay very thin and delicate strings on the skin, which will stain the skin red. THlS DOESN'T HURT AT ALL, but you have to be careful not to smudge the henna and also very patient, because henna needs between 6 to 8 hours to develop a color.

This picuture shows the mehndi after painting the henna on the hand. For that the henna rest moistened for several hours it is sealed with a coat of sugar water.

The patterns I do, are derived from the henna and khidab artwork I saw in Yemen two years ago. They are also known as gulf style or Khalidji. (Khalidj means in Arabic Gulf)

On my website www.henna-und-mehr.de (available in French and German) you can see several little videos how henna is mixed and applied:

Octavias hand painted with khidab

My sister Octavia arrived yesterday for a visite from Tunisa. Because I had left some khidab from my last costumer, I painted her one hand with a small design of it and decided afterwards to take these photos of her.

Khidab is a Gall ink which is employed in Yemen mainly in the mountainous regions around the capital Sanaa instead of henna. For an account how it is made you can download an article:

This is now my second painting I made from the left over paint of the gig just 6 weeks ago. This time there isn'tl enough ink left to do another painting.
Nevertheless I am pretty content to have testet out, that you can use the preparedkhidab ink for weeks without any problems, provided you keep the ink in anairtight bottle.
