The aim original of this blog was to try new exciting courses and things I had never done, but it has been hard fitting this in around work etc. However, I finally got to do one of the things I wanted to: Henna Tattooing.
Went with a friend of mine to a local centre and did a two hour session. In the session we had the chance to: look at images about the two main types of henna tattooing and what makes them different, learn how to hold the cones of henna and get used to the tension you need to produce to get the right flow, practised basic lines and shapes and finally created some flowers and leaves with shading.
It's great to learn because you be creative with it and either follow traditional styles (Indian and Arabic) or create your own images. I wouldn't say I had a natural knack for it, but enjoyed doing it : ) It's also good for trying out designs that you might want done as a normal tattoo, as it is not permanent.
The session was really interesting and made me want to buy some henna and try it on myself. When a suitable time arises, I will buy some to put on myself for an event : )
