Our first Henna Chai weekend was spectacular. Chelsea did two really in depth and informative classes on Sudanese & Sangeet Henna.
Something new that I learned that I’m definitely going to be trying is the use of water with either your finger tip or a q-tip to shade and/or correct lines. Every instructor brings something new to their presentation of henna art. There is always something new and exciting to learn. It’s all about getting better, each and every day.
Here we are with Chelsea working on Sudanese henna designs. She explains that typically in her design she would go down the ring finger in particular to embellish that finger and to highlight the beautiful ring the bride will be wearing. I wouldn’t have thought of that. That was so neat!
We continue on in Sudanese styles henna on embellishments and bands. She explains how you can easily lay out your lines/template beforehand using water color pencils or eyeliner.
Our view of Periscope live. We gave everyone a sneak peek into our classes. Thank you for tuning in and for the hearts. Missed us? Download the periscope app onto your phone and follow us @hennasooq.
Sangeet mehndi strips at larger parties should only take maximum 3 minutes each. Chelsea explains that we have to view our line of guests and make sure for time sake to offer simple sangeet mehndi henna which typically go from corner of the wrist and up one finger.
Blume caught me. “Ooh wait! I hear a photographer!” I see you Blume. Snap!
The best part! Henna sharing time. Caught this on Periscope. Can you see what Sunshine says? Chelsea heads to Texas this coming weekend for more henna slinging.
My turn! Trying something different and fused all these elements together for a pretty unique henna design. I love lines, and flowy designs combined together.
Thanks for coming to our first Henna Chai weekend of 2016. Please stay tuned and register for our next Henna Weekend. Our dates are February 6 & 7 with instructor Melanie Ooi of Blue Lotus Henna.
