Henna by onewing

Henna

Posting a bit late tonight, it has been a long day. We have been out with friends today, this afternoon at the theatre and then out for a meal tonight. Had a lovely day, but feeling a bit drained this evening.

Woke up this morning with very high blood pressure and a splitting headache, so the day was marred a bit with the headache. Still got a headache tonight, so off to bed soon.

No time for photos today so this is another photo taken at the Maitland Multicultural festival a couple of weeks ago.

This lady was painting the hands of anyone who wanted henna (Mehndi) designs painted on their skin. It was so interesting to watch.

Thanks to everyone who commented on my face in the crowd photo yesterday and for getting it on the TP and the PP.

Will catch up tomorrow.
Would love to watch this being done. great capture Babs. Hope you're feeling better

Lovely intricate patterns. I think you will need a very steady hand.

Pretty design but I always worry about henna after seeing a person swell up after being allergic to it.

It looks like precision painting here. A nice capture. Look after yourself, Babs.

A great alternative to a permanent tattoo.

She must have a very steady hand to do such intricate designs

@thistle @shirleybankfarm @beryl @seattlite @craftymeg @mittens @ladymagpie @ziggy77 @quietpurplehaze @happypat @salza @dh @hermann Thanks everyone, it was so interesting to watch. Such a steady hand this lady had too.
Feeling a bit better today but still got a splitting headache. I think I woke up with somebody else's head on and it doesn't fit as well as my own. Nothing serious though, I just need a head and neck transplant.
We were thinking of going to the Cranky Handle Rally today, but I think I will have a quiet day and a walk on the beach later this afternoon instead.

I hope you are feeling better now, Doing some slow movement such as tai chi, you can get very relaxed and it takes your focus away from the headache.

Beautiful design.

Interesting to have a chance to view the artist at work. Hope you are feeling better soon...

@yaorenliu Thanks very much. I did tai chi for years and yes it relaxing. I am feeling much better today.

@taffy @eyesmile Thanks I am feeling much better today. A few family dramas aren't helping but we just have to walk away from them I think. Not really our problems, but we get roped in.

@annied You should have gone to Maitland Multicultural Festival then, there weren't any long queues there.
October 26th, 2015  
Very clever lady.
