I decided to give my artistic talents a new outlet. I am learning the art of Mehandi. It is done with henna, a plant mixed with oils and sugar, then painted on the skin to produce a semi-permanent dyed design. The stain from the plant wears off in about 7-10 days.<\/p>\n
Above is my second attempt, my first attempt was on my 12 year old daughter’s hand and she decided it wasn’t to her liking and took the dye off her hand before the alloted time of minimum 4 hours, her’s is fading already. So I used my own hand to practice.<\/p>\n
I forgot what might happen when I showed up at work with a dyed hand. OOPS! Scared my boss a number of times throughout the day, he kept thinking something was crawling on my hand!<\/p>\n
I am actually pretty please with the first results and now that I know how the stuf works, I will try for more intricate patterns. Plus there are othe colors I can use.<\/p>\n
