henna feather design

[Shelby]

I got some henna at an Asian market near where I live and tried out a feather design with it. It's a plant-based temporary skin dye (lasts about a week to 10 days).

I was using the crappy camera in my cell phone, but I think it came out pretty good!

I like that , did you draw it on yourself?

[Shelby]

Thanks! And yes I did. Henna is really easy to do on yourself. I used a ball-point pen lightly on my skin first, then applied the henna over the pen (the same way you use a cake frosting bag). Wait for it to dry (it gets hard and crusty), then you just brush off the crumbs and wipe a little olive oil on the skin to seal it. In the picture is actually the wet henna before it dried. The end result is a light tan which is hard to see in pictures...
