Mehendi Art

Applying mehendi or henna is part of many Asian and Arab cultures
and one of my favourite hobbies. Snapped at home in Abu Dhabi.

  2. Actually, this isn't the end result....you're supposed to remove the dried henna after a few hours and that leaves behind an orange-red stain that will darken over the next few hours. The best quality henna will deepen into a brownish-black. I am still in search of that kind of henna....(sigh)....:)
