In Singapore, the Indians and Muslims practice Mehndi and is mostly done on weddings or festive occasions. I've always love Mehndi simply because the art is so beautiful and I love the smell of the Henna paste. I buy ready made henna paste from Little India. I love sitting on the sofa with a relax mind and slowly and carefully paint my hands with henna. Although I do not have a steady hand but at least I think I do an OK job! Hahahaha!!!!
Also I like to do Mehndi on Georgia as she has to sit on her couch for at least half an hour to an hour without moving. It is a good way to calm the ever energetic Georgia and she has to wait patiently for the paste to dry to see the end results.
These are our Mehndi.
Georgia requested for a cat and a fish motif.
Before the henna is washed off.
The end result.

That's such a clever way to calm Georgia down! And your mehndi designs are very nice! They look like they're professionally done like those you get from the markets.
Haven't seen a blog post from you in ages. Good to see you're enjoying time being a stay at home mum!

Goregeous henna! I've always wanted to have a play with it and do some body painting. I will one day ;) Does it last long?
Thanks Melanie ^_^ It usually last for about a week or so. After that you can change another new design!
