I have just finished catching up reading the postings for the last
month or so. WHEW! What a wealth of info!I have become interested in
mehndi in the last year, and have so far only experimented with prefab
kits. I want to start mixing my own and have a few basic questions.
Is it ok to use the pkgd henna powder from indian grocery stores? I
gather that it needs to be sifted first. I am currently working on a
bag of henna using old pantyhose streched across a bowl and a soup
spoon. I read that somewhere. Can anyone suggest a more efficient
method? Somewhere I saw someone make reference to a sift-o-matic, and
wondered if you had a gadget or were just being sarcastic. Another
question is regarding the TV show Xena. Last season they were in
India and one episode in particular centered around mehndi. They used
some DROP DEAD GORGEOUS designs! I wondered if anyone had sketches of
the patterns from that episode. I am getting Married in early March
and was hoping to adapt the patterns for the wedding. but so far have
only gotten a few fuzzy pictures and one sketch. WHat I love about
them is that they are not so tiny and intricate and complicated. They
are more elegant and simple and graceful. If anyone can help me find
more info on that as well I would be SO GRATEFUL! I heard that they
were mostly transfers done by a co. called Temptu, but couldnt find
the designs I wanted most on their website, I'm guessing they were
custom jobs. ANy help out there??? Thanks in advance!!
