People around the world have practiced the art of mehndi — or henna tattoos — for centuries. The intricate designs are often worn in conjunction with religious rituals to cultivate good luck and blessings. They're also a popular form of self-expression, offering a beautiful and temporary form of body art. These illustrated step-by-step instructions feature easy-to-follow exercises showing how to combine dots, swirls, ripples, and other patterns into original versions of the traditional patterns. Guidelines include suggestions for combining the simple shapes that form the basic elements of mehndi, a selection of motifs, practice pages with unfinished patterns, many helpful tips, and plenty of samples for coloring. Review: Great henna book!!!! - I am so glad I purchased this book!! Packed with beautiful mehendi designs!! Great for a beginner. There are both easy and intricate henna designs to choose.

This book breaks down how to approach decorating hands and feet using henna paint, but I love it for the inspiration it gives me for creating my own surface pattern designs.Large, clear pictures throughout.

great book for beginners
One of the best beginner design books I have seen on the subject. The only thing that could improve the depth of the book designs would be including the different types (Arabic, Indian, Moroccan,etc) so beginners learn which style they prefer and the supporting elements to create the look.
