Henna

Learn to do the craft of Henna, the ancient form of body adornment. Henna is an all-natural art of body decoration made up of a paste from the henna plant, lemon juice (or something similar) and essential oils that stains the skin for a few weeks in the pattern of which it was applied. It has been done for weddings in many cultures for centuries and has now become as trendy and stylish as getting a tattoo with out the pain and long-term commitment. This henna artist will adorn your hands, feet, arms, back or even show you how to do this for yourself!
