In reply to: ... and he said, "no, Mehndi is an art form ..." posted by Anne (Manning) & Kelly on June 16, 2001 at 02:49:52:

: Yesterday, my sister & I visited our local markets, to check out
any
: new stalls etc. We are planning to rent a stall, to enable us to
: offer our Mehndi on market days (Fri, Sat, Sun).
:
: Anyway, we were pleased to find no other Mehndi Artists, however we
: did come across a man doing airbrush temporary tattoo's, among an
: array of other things. He was very friendly and explained the
: process in depth, and even offered to give us both a free design
: because he was not busy.
:
: I enquired about Mehndi and asked if he used henna paste for any of
: his designs? His answer? ...
:
: "No, Mehndi is an art form" ... then he went into great detail
: explaining the history & culture of Mehndi (and even a brief rant
: about PPD), and how he was yet to come across a local Mehndi artist.
:
: After listening to him, we explained our real reason for visiting
the
: markets that day. He was very excited and began asking numorous
: questions etc, and ended up booking an appointment for himself and
: his wife. Apparently in the past, they travelled throughout the
: world, and had many different designs, in many different countries,
&
: this had led to a shared passion of body adornment.
:
: That man made our day, what a refreshing change to meet someone
else
: who appreciates this art, as much as we do. His reaction surprised
: us both, I suppose we expected him to try convince us to pay for
one
: of his airbrush tattoo's, & attempt to convince us that they are
: better than henna etc etc ...
:
: Just had to share ...
