Mehendi By Bhavani

A lil' quarter tile mandala for day 6? of Jeeto Didi's 365 mehndi pact to practice henna everyday!!! How awesome is she?! 🌸🌸🌸

Grateful to for giving me a reason to set aside time today for this little practice! We have been teaming up to tackle some fairs and events as ! It was such a great experience working together for the Staten Island Bazaar last Friday hosted by .cups and ! The kanafa was so good! I want some more! (Pictures coming in the next few weeks!)

And we have another event lined up later this month: Heeramandi South Asian Jewellery Expo in NYC hosted by ! It's exciting to be putting myself out there with Aiyesha by my side and getting to blend strengths and ideas to provide a quality experience! Thanks for reaching out to me again, girl! 🙏🏼💗

Day 30: Borders/Frames

Now that we're at the end of the challenge, I'm not sure what to say except that I'm grateful for all this experience has taught me.

My bracelet smudged the bottom leaves tonight (swipe for blooper pic 🤭).

Day 24: Shading

Is it perfect? So far from it!
Do I need to work on stamina? For sure!
Do I need to mix up a fresh batch of paste? 💯
Do I see improvement though? I think I do!

It's always tough to see beyond the mistakes up close... from far off, I love it! 🤣

I got a great tip today about not letting my paste get too warm (I have hot hands!). Warm paste = runny paste. Runny paste + shaky hands = messy work! After feeling a bit discouraged about the wonky shading lines in the flower on the lower right side, I popped the cone in the freezer for maybe a minute or two.. pulled it back out again and had more success with the next 3 flowers. Each petal is different - some are more neat than others - so I want to keep working on intentional uniformity! Also, revisited spirals... more work to be done! Lol.

Hope you enjoyed my henna math 😉 thanks for the helpful tip ! 💕🙏🏼

Day 21 & 22: Festival/Party & Spirals and Swirls!

It's 1am in NY and we're officially on day 22. So I decided to whip-up a quick swirly, festival strip by before I say goodnight! I worked hard on these spirals 😭, but we still have a ways to go!

It was a busy day today (as is everyday with a homeschooled 5 year old)! And looking like it'll be another busy one tomorrow, so I'm being realistic and giving myself some grace.

I cant wait to learn from Victoria, and @ henna conference this year!!! It's so close and I'm dying of excitement!!!

We still have over a week of prompts left if you feel inspired to join in!!! And check out our other host who's still with us and posting daily: as well! 💕💕💕
