Today i was more lucky wtih a costumer who wanted a painting with khidab on one of her feets . Because she didn't make any prescription what I should do, I think this design is by far more balanced than my first one (see www.flickr.com/photos/henna-und-mehr/2575346739/in/photos....

KHIDAB is the Yemeni black waterproof ink for body painting. It is used often instead of henna, but sometimes also in combination, to decorate hands and arms, back, décolleté as well as legs and feet with extended tendril-like patterns.
Khidab is obtained through pyrolysis. Cuprous oxide gives the ink its dark blue-black colour. Dr. Hanne Schönig has described the composition and production in detail in the article: “ Yemeni Women’s Body Painting with Black Gall Ink Khidab, Production Methods”

Henna or mehendi is not a tattoo which is made with a needle to bring the color pigments beneath the upper layer of the skin and therefore painful and permanent.
To draw such fine lines the finely grounded leaves of the henna shrub is in a first step well sifted, than mixed with warm water. After several hours of let sit the paste the strained paste is filled in a cone or syringe to lay very thin and delicate strings on the skin, which will stain the skin red. THlS DOESN'T HURT AT ALL, but you have to be careful not to smudge the henna and also very patient, because henna needs between 6 to 8 hours to develop a color.
This picuture shows the mehndi after painting the henna on the hand. For that the henna rest moistened for several hours it is sealed with a coat of sugar water.
The patterns I do, are all created by me. A great deal of them are inspired from the henna and khidab artwork I saw in Yemen 2006. They are also known as gulf style or Khalidji. (Khalidj means in Arabic Gulf)
On my website www.henna-und-mehr.de (available in French and German: www.henna-und-mehr.de/de/anwend.html ) as well as on youtube you can see several little videos how henna is mixed and applied:

This is the color result of the henna I did for a client who is undergoing a chemotherapy. Instead of waering a wig she wanted that I henna her bald head with flowers. She loves in particular hibiskus and so i created for her this design in which the hibiskus is prominent.

This is a small henna design I did on the back of my hand on a corporate event for TUI to promote travels to DUBAI.
I did this to practise the logo of the government of Dubai.
I am in particular pleased of the dark color outcome, because till now I achieved only a rather pale color on the back of my hands

I'm on a henna craze! I'll henna any hand I can get my hands on! This is by far the best henna I've ever done...came out so well. I mixed some henna I had over the summer that was a little too runny, with my new batch of henna that was too dry and got the perfect consistency. I can't decide if I prefer applying it with the little bottle with a needle top or a hand rolled cone. I guess I'll just have to henna more hands and find out.

I always dreamed about to do one day henna (the red color in the bodypainting) and khidab (the black color) together since I saw in Yemen this kind of bodypainting for the first time and now it has come true.
