Henna Kits - Artists KIt for $14.95

I have just finished a fresh batch of spicy fragrant henna tea.. and now have about 15 henna kits Ready To Sell!
These kits include 35 grams of 2006 Jamila henna.. you know.. the incredibly finely sifted powder, essential oils (two premeasured vials), instructions.. but most interestingly, the henna tea blend I have been using for the past 5 years.

I use the tea when I am doing Bridal Tattoo in particular. It seems that all the different ingredients help the stain. I am sure that there are excellent recipes that don't require the tea. In fact, I often make henna paste without it.

However, if I know that I am going to be doing a large tattoo, or one that is really important.. I use the tea when mixing the paste along with the essential oils & lemon juice.

So.. I thought I should let you know the tea is fresh & the kits are ready to sell. I offer free shipping within the Continental US, so there are no surprises on the price. It's $14.95 by First Class Mail. Click the title for more info.
Wishing you joy, Ann George

Henna tattoo for summer - bold henna tattoos

Here is a photo of a bold leg tattoo I did just this past Saturday at BLU salon. My client knew just what she wanted, she chose a bold floral design for the leg from my photo portfolio.

Of course, no two designs should ever be the same, and it is important to fit the style & the pattern of a piece to the client. I think this pattern, which wraps around to the front of the leg, works well.

For those of you who are new to henna tattoo, this is NOT a photo of black henna. This is a photo taken with the henna paste still on the skin. The paste, which goes on a dark green color, dries to black.

When the paste is taken off the skin, the traditional dark red, red brown, red orange stain remains.

Henna tattoo artist at work.

I almost forgot to post a picture from the Grey Goose Gala - a film festival in Jacksonville, Florida.

I really appreciate the opportunity to celebrate film.. and cultural diversity!

Here is a photo of henna in process at a very upscale evening event where I had a great time.
The event co-ordinators who hired Spirit Vision Henna Tattoo were pleased that so many people enjoyed a Mendhi moment.

Notice those extra goose neck lamps?

We were outside on a lovely Spring evening.. and they came in very handy.

Easy Henna Pattern - fine lines possible with Jamila

Here is a photo of a henna design for one of the talented stylists at BLU salon. This free hand design is based in part on her selection of a style of tattoo from one of the many design books I bring to work. It is also created to compliment the shape of her hand.

I began to draw the pattern just above the wrist making a shell outline that is thicker on one side than the other. That pattern is filled with very fine lines. Next, I drew a curving line .. and while it may be hard to see at first.. if you look closely, you will see it. It is duplicated.. so there seems to be a ribbon.. filled again with very fine lines. The flower in the center of the hand was an important design component for this client. As well, since she works with her hands every day.. we tried to keep the design off the fingers.

It didn't take long at all to create this mehndi. The silky smooth (never needs sifting) Jamila henna makes a great paste every time. Click the title of this post to purchase fresh 2006 henna powder.

Jamila Henna Powder - 2006 crop - on sale!

Great color right!! I took this photo of my own hand about 36 hours after the henna paste was removed. I am holding the new 35gm box of Jamila Henna powder.
The amazingly fresh 2006 crop of Jamila henna is ready to sell. ( I finally put the shopping cart on line).
I have two sizes for sale - the 35 gm box of foil sealed super fine henna.. and the 100 gm box!
The small box makes enough for 3 or 4 cones of paste (using my recipe anyway.) If you don't make up henna very often, then choose the smaller box.
The 100 gm box makes lots! I am still using the first one I opened, and I am making two fresh cones a week.

Lizards! Tribal style henna tattoo

I would love to give credit where credit is due .. and this great lizard pattern is not my own design.
It is incredibly popular!! A great tribal style design.

I really like the way its riding along the back of this lovely girl... so.. if you drew this pattern, my hat is off to you. If you know who did.. please post a comment on the blog so we can give a link to the artist.

This photo was taken at BLU.. a great salon in Historic Five Points, Riverside, Jacksonville.. where you can get henna -ed every Saturday. It's best to call for an appointment if you want a complex design. You can reach Ann George at 904-993.7466.

Stay tuned.. I have photos of the June 2006 Jamila henna coming soon.
