E. and her husband, C., are wonderful people- they are going to be fantastic parents! E. decided that she would like to have her belly henna'ed, in celebration of the impending birth of her first child. Mehndi is a wonderful way to mark important events in your life- and a pregnant belly is a fantastic canvas! Henna body art makes a wonderful baby shower gift for the mother-to-be. We offer very reasonable rates for parties, baby and wedding showers, or anytime at all- contact us for more information.
For E.'s decoration, we finished off the henna design with colorful, cosmetic-grade mica powders, for fabulous, shimmering colors- the addition of this type of coloring can make your design look absolutely amazing. The micas only stay on until you wash them off, leaving your original henna design. It's a great look for your mehndi paste, while you're waiting for your design to mature.
My thanks to E. and C. for their hospitality, kindnesses, and for these wonderful photos- we wish them a gentle birth, and blessings for them and their lucky new baby! |
